A palette you can use

The result is more than a row of swatches. Each color comes with the values you need to use it somewhere else.

Dominant colors
The largest color areas rise to the front, so the palette describes the image at a glance rather than chasing one isolated pixel.
Copy-ready values
Use HEX for design tools, RGB for code, HSL for adjustments, or copy the full set as CSS variables and JSON.
Local processing
The image is reduced and read in your browser. Large originals never need to leave your device just to find their colors.

Good for references and generated images

Pull a starting palette from a photograph, illustration, product image, or AI-generated image before you start designing around it. The weighted strip makes the main color relationships easy to see, while the individual values make them easy to reuse.

The extractor reads the pixels that are actually present. It does not invent colors, identify subjects, or make a claim about how the image was created.

Frequently asked questions

How does the palette extractor choose colors?
The image is reduced to a small local sample, similar colors are grouped together, and the most common distinct groups become the palette. It is a pixel-based color analysis, not an AI guess.
Does my image leave my device?
No. The image is decoded and analyzed in your browser. It is never uploaded to a server, and the extracted palette is generated locally.
Which color formats can I copy?
Each swatch includes HEX, RGB, and HSL values. You can copy individual HEX values, all colors as CSS variables, or the full palette as formatted JSON.
Can I extract colors from a transparent PNG?
Yes. Transparent pixels are ignored, so the palette reflects the visible parts of the image rather than the transparent canvas around them.
