I made some icons to put on my forum, I made these icons in Photoshop, but when I change their colors via CSS they don’t change, all the other icons that I downloaded from the google site change, except the icons that I I did it in photoshop

Your TV icon is an embedded PNG (xlink:href="data:img/png...), not actually a SVG.

You need a SVG with proper vector paths so the browser can apply the fill color.

Does Photoshop not make vector normally? What program can I make vector and save as normal svg?

Inkscape is a good and free vector graphics software.

I use Affinity Designer. It’s not free but it’s not Adobe price either :sweat_smile:

If you’re already in the Adobe ecosystem, Illustrator would be the tool you’re looking for.

When using photoshop, you can easily convert the .png into a .svg and delete the white spots using magic eraser.
