How it works
- Upload an image you want to extract a palette from.
- The tool samples pixel colors and clusters similar shades.
- Get a small set of dominant hex colors, ready to copy.
The method
Pixel colors are grouped by similarity using a clustering approach, and the most visually significant clusters are reported back as the final palette, ordered roughly by prominence.
FAQ
How many colors does the palette include?
By default it extracts the four to six most visually dominant colors, giving a compact palette rather than every shade present in the image.
Can I use the palette in CSS or design tools?
Yes — the output is a list of hex codes you can copy directly into a CSS variable, a design tool's palette, or a style guide.
Does the image get uploaded anywhere?
No — the image is processed entirely in your browser and never leaves your device.
