Free Color Palette Extractor — Get HEX & RGB Colors from Any Image
Extract the dominant colors from any image instantly. Get HEX and RGB values for up to 12 colors. Free, no signup, runs entirely in your browser — perfect for designers and developers.

Extracting a color palette is a fundamental workflow in design and development. Whether you want to match the colors of a logo, recreate the mood of a photograph, build a consistent UI color scheme from a brand image, or identify the exact shades used in an artwork, this tool gives you the precise values you need with a single click.
The color extraction uses a quantization algorithm that groups visually similar pixels and identifies the most statistically dominant color clusters. A slider lets you control how many colors to extract — from 3 for a minimal palette to 12 for a full, detailed breakdown. Click any color swatch or value to copy it to your clipboard instantly, or use 'Copy all' to grab the entire palette as a comma-separated HEX list.
The visual color strip at the top gives you an instant proportional overview of the palette, showing how much of the image each color occupies. This is especially useful for understanding whether an image is dominated by a single hue or balanced across multiple tones.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many colors can I extract?
You can extract between 3 and 12 dominant colors using the slider. Adjust it before or after uploading — the palette updates automatically.
How accurate is the color extraction?
The tool uses color quantization to group similar pixels and identify the most dominant color clusters. Results closely represent the visual distribution of colors in the image.
Can I copy the color values?
Yes. Click any color swatch or HEX/RGB value to copy it to your clipboard. Use the 'Copy all HEX values' button to copy the entire palette at once.
What image formats are supported?
PNG, JPG, WEBP, and GIF are all supported as input.
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No. All color extraction runs locally in your browser using the Canvas API. Your image never leaves your device.
What are HEX and RGB color formats?
HEX is a 6-digit code (e.g. #FF5733) used in CSS and design tools. RGB (e.g. rgb(255, 87, 51)) expresses the same color as red, green, and blue channel values from 0–255.
Can I use this to match colors from a brand logo?
Yes. Upload the logo image and extract its dominant colors to get the exact HEX values used in the design, ready to paste into CSS, Figma, or any design tool.
Is this tool free?
Yes, completely free with no signup required.
