How to extract a color palette from an image
- Drop your image into the box above, or click to browse.
- Choose how many colors you want — anywhere from 4 to 10.
- Copy any single HEX, or grab the whole palette with one click.
Turn any photo into a usable color scheme
A good palette is often hiding in a photo you already love — a sunset, a product shot, a piece of artwork. This tool reads the dominant colors out of the image and hands them back as clean HEX and RGB codes, ready to drop into CSS, Figma, a slide deck, or a brand guide. No more eyedropping pixel by pixel.
Dominant colors, not random pixels
Behind the scenes a median-cut algorithm groups the millions of pixels into a handful of representative buckets and averages each one. The result reflects what the image actually looks like — the colors that carry the most visual weight — rather than whatever happened to sit under a single click. Ask for more swatches when you need subtle accents, fewer when you want the core scheme.
HEX and RGB, copy in one click
Every swatch shows both its HEX and RGB value. Click one to copy it, or use Copy allto paste the entire set at once. It's built to slot straight into the place you're already working.
Private by design
Everything runs on your own device — the image is never uploaded, so nothing is stored or seen by anyone, and it works offline. No account, no watermark, no limits.

Frequently asked questions
- How are the palette colors chosen?
- The image is analysed with a median-cut algorithm: it repeatedly splits the full range of colors into groups and averages each one. That gives you the dominant, representative colors rather than a few random pixels. You can ask for 4 to 10 swatches.
- Can I copy the whole palette at once?
- Yes. Click any swatch to copy its HEX, or use "Copy all" to grab every code in one go — handy for pasting straight into CSS, a design tool, or a style guide.
- What can I use an extracted palette for?
- Building a color scheme from a photo, matching a design to a brand image, theming a slide deck or website, or just turning a picture you love into a usable set of colors.
- Does the image quality or size matter?
- Not much. The image is scaled down internally before analysis, so even large photos process instantly, and the dominant colors stay the same whether the original is 500px or 5000px wide.
- Is my image uploaded?
- No. The whole palette is extracted in your browser — your image never leaves your device, so nothing is stored or seen by anyone.
