Color Palette Extractor
Upload an image and get its dominant colors as hex codes. Free, no account, and the file never leaves your device.
Drag your image here or click to choose it
JPG, PNG or WEBP. Processed in your browser, never uploaded to any server.
Picking colors for a brand, a room, or a website is a lot easier when you already have an image you like — a logo, a photo of a paint swatch, or a screenshot. This tool analyzes the pixels in that image and returns the six colors that show up most, each with a hex code ready to copy. Everything happens inside your browser: the image never gets uploaded to a server. It works just as well for building a brand palette from a logo as it does for pulling the exact colors out of a photo you happened to like.
How to extract a color palette in 3 steps
Upload your image
Drag a photo, logo, or screenshot into the upload area, or pick one from your device. It processes instantly, with no wait.
Check the detected colors
The tool groups pixels by similarity and shows the six shades that appear most in the image, each as a color swatch with its hex code.
Copy the code you need
Click any swatch and its hex code copies straight to your clipboard, ready to paste into your CSS editor, Figma, or wherever you need it.
When it comes in handy
- A designer gets a client's logo as a PNG and needs the exact hex values to build the website palette, instead of guessing at shades by eye against a screen.
- Someone redecorating a room found a photo online of a color scheme they love and wants to take those codes to the paint store to get the exact match, without coming home with the wrong shade.
- A developer needs the CSS values that match a screenshot of a design the client already approved, without opening an image editor or chasing down a style guide.
Frequently asked questions
What happens to the image I upload?
It never gets sent to a server. The analysis runs inside your browser, using your own device's processor, so the image never travels over the internet. Close the tab and no copy is kept anywhere.
How many colors does it extract, and can I get more?
It returns the six most dominant colors in the image. That number is meant to cover a typical brand palette — a main color, a couple of secondaries, and an accent — without overwhelming you with options you won't end up using.
Are the colors it detects always the right ones for my brand?
The tool ranks colors by how much space they cover in the image, not by how important they are to the design. That means a large background can show up first even if the more interesting color belongs to a small detail, like an icon or a border. It's worth comparing the original image against the palette before deciding.
Does it work well with gradient-heavy photos, like a sunset?
It's a color-frequency method, not an advanced clustering algorithm, so on images with lots of similar shades — a gradient sky, for example — it can return several very close tones instead of clean, distinct colors. It works best with logos, illustrations, or photos with solid color blocks.
Is it free? Do I need to create an account?
It's free and doesn't ask for an account or an email. You can analyze one image or twenty in the same day, with no limit, because all the processing runs on your own device and there are no servers to pay for.
