Color Palette Extractor
The dominant colors of any image as copy-ready HEX swatches — extracted on your device, never uploaded.
How to use this tool
- Choose an image — a photo, screenshot, logo, or design.
- The dominant colors appear as swatches with HEX codes; pick 4 to 10 of them.
- Click any swatch to copy its HEX, or copy the whole palette at once.
How it works
The image is downsampled and its pixels sorted into coarse color buckets; the most-populated buckets become your palette, with each swatch set to the average of the actual pixels in its bucket and near-duplicate buckets merged so you get distinct colors rather than five shades of the same blue. All of it happens on your device — the image is never uploaded.
Dominant-color extraction reflects area, not salience: a small but vivid accent can rank below a large muted background. If a color you care about is missing, increase the color count.
Frequently asked questions
How do I get the color palette from a picture?
Choose the image and the palette appears — no upload, no account. Click a swatch to copy its HEX code, or take the palette as a comma-separated list.
Why isn't the exact color I see in the palette?
Swatches are averages of dominant color regions, weighted by how much of the image they cover. To sample one exact pixel, use an eyedropper (many browsers have one built into their color picker — or paste the HEX into our Color Converter).
Does this work on logos and flat designs?
Especially well — flat artwork has clean color regions, so the extracted palette usually matches the design's actual swatches.
