Why use a color palette extractor?
Great design starts with the right colors, and the easiest place to find them is an image you already love — a photo, a logo, a screenshot, or a moodboard. This image color picker scans every pixel and surfaces the dominant colors so you can build a coherent palette in seconds instead of eyeballing hex codes. Whether you’re matching a brand, theming a website, or pulling accents for a UI, extracting colors from an image gives you ready-to-use HEX and RGB values that drop straight into your CSS or design tool — all processed locally in your browser.
Frequently asked questions
Is this color palette extractor free and private?
Yes — it is 100% free with no sign-up, and completely private. Your image is drawn to a canvas and analysed entirely in your browser; the file is never uploaded to any server.
How are the dominant colors chosen?
The tool downscales your image for speed, then groups every pixel into color buckets and ranks them by how often they appear. The most common buckets become your palette, averaged for a clean representative color.
What formats can I extract colors from?
Any image your browser can open — PNG, JPG/JPEG, WebP, GIF, and more. You can drag and drop, click to browse, or paste an image from your clipboard.
Can I copy the HEX and RGB codes?
Yes. Each swatch shows its HEX and RGB value with a one-click Copy button, so you can paste it straight into your CSS, design tool, or style guide.
