🎨 Image Color Palette Extractor
Extract dominant colors from an image locally in your browser. Copy HEX values, CSS variables, or download the palette as JSON.
Privacy and color notes
The image is sampled locally and never uploaded. Browser canvas extraction may ignore some embedded color profiles, so use the palette as design guidance rather than a print-accurate color proof.
Why it is useful
It helps designers, marketers, and developers build palettes from photos, screenshots, logos, and product images.
How it works
The browser samples image pixels, groups similar colors, and displays copyable color values.
Best input
Use the final image or a representative crop that contains the colors you care about.
Design tip
Check extracted colors for contrast before using them behind text or controls.
Privacy note
Image analysis is designed to happen locally in your browser.
Important limitation
Extracted palettes are approximations and can vary with cropping, compression, transparency, lighting, and color profiles.
Quick answers
Can I use colors directly in CSS?
Yes, but verify contrast and brand fit first.
Why are colors different from my design tool?
Sampling method, color profile, and image compression can change values.
Common Use Cases
Pull a palette from a product photo
Sample a launch image to get matching HEX values for landing-page accents, cards, and buttons.
Turn a screenshot into CSS variables
Extract dominant interface colors and copy them as quick CSS custom-property starters.
Check logo-adjacent color ideas
Upload a logo or brand image to find supporting colors, then verify contrast before using them in UI text.
Image Toolkit workflow
Move between compressing, resizing, converting, cropping, encoding, favicon generation, resolution math, and palette extraction while keeping image pixels local to the browser.
