Upload a photo, logo, or graphic, and the tool will extract up to 12 dominant colors with HEX and RGB codes. Analysis happens locally in your browser.

Every photo, logo, or graphic contains colors that can serve as a ready-made color palette. The extractor analyzes the image and shows which colors dominate - along with HEX codes and RGB values ready to paste into your project.
In practice, this means that instead of manually sampling colors in a graphics application (pixel by pixel), you upload one image and get an organized list of up to 12 colors. This is useful when selecting colors for a website, creating consistent social media graphics, or building a visual identity from existing material.
All analysis happens locally in the browser - the image is not sent to any server.
The whole process takes just a few seconds:
Example colors extracted from a nature image
After uploading an image, the extractor displays a list of dominant colors sorted from most to least prominent. Each color shows its HEX code and RGB value - ready to paste into CSS, Figma, or any graphics application.
The number of extracted colors depends on the image content. A landscape photo will produce a richer palette (8–12 colors), while a simple two-color logo will yield correspondingly fewer items.
The quality of the extracted palette depends on the type of uploaded image:
After uploading a file, the tool performs several steps in the background - all analysis happens locally in the browser:
The image is resized to about 240 pixels wide. This speeds up analysis even for very large photos, without affecting color detection accuracy.
Each pixel is analyzed, and similar shades are grouped together. Two nearly identical blues become one color in the palette.
The algorithm picks colors that cover the largest area of the image. The result is a list of up to 12 colors sorted from most to least prominent.
In PNG files with transparent backgrounds, those areas are not included in the analysis - the extractor examines only visible colors. The entire process typically takes under a second.
