Color Palette Extractor
Upload any image and we'll pull out 5 dominant colors with hex codes. Everything runs locally — your image never leaves your browser.
About the color palette extractor
Upload any photo and this tool reports the dominant colors it contains, with the hex value for each swatch. The colors are grouped by how often they appear and filtered so that near-identical shades do not fill every slot, which gives a usable palette instead of five variations of the same sky.
This is the quickest way to build a palette that already matches a photograph — a product shot, a landscape, a piece of artwork you are adapting. Instead of guessing at colors, you take the ones actually present in the image and reuse them for text, borders and backgrounds so the composition stays coherent.
How to use it
- Upload a photo. Processing happens locally, so nothing is transmitted.
- Set how many colors you want in the palette.
- Click a swatch to copy its hex code, or copy the whole set at once.
- Paste the values into your design tool, stylesheet or the gradient generator.
FAQ
Why does the palette change when I upload a different photo?
The result is derived from the pixels in that specific image, so a darker photo returns a darker palette. That is the point — the palette describes the picture.
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No. The file is read with the browser's File API and drawn to a local canvas. Nothing leaves your device, which is why this is safe for client work and unpublished photos.
