Upload an image to extract its dominant colors
A color extractor tool analyzes uploaded images to identify and extract the dominant colors. It processes the image pixels, groups similar colors together, and presents the most prominent colors as a palette with hex codes, RGB values, and usage percentages. This helps designers create color schemes based on real images.
To extract colors: 1) Click the upload area or "Upload Image" button to select an image from your device, 2) Choose how many colors you want to extract (4-16) using the slider, 3) The tool automatically analyzes the image and displays the dominant colors, 4) View each color's hex code, RGB values, and percentage of the image, 5) Copy individual colors or export the entire palette as JSON.
The color extractor supports all common image formats including JPG/JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, and WebP. The tool works entirely in your browser, so your images are never uploaded to a server. It can handle images of any resolution, though very large images may take longer to process.
You can extract between 4 and 16 colors from any image using the color count slider. Fewer colors (4-6) show only the most dominant colors, while more colors (12-16) provide a more detailed palette including subtle accent colors. The percentage shown indicates how much of the image uses that particular color.
No, all image processing happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your images are never uploaded to any server or stored anywhere. The color extraction algorithm runs locally on your device, ensuring complete privacy and security of your images. You can use this tool offline after the page loads.
Yes! Each extracted color has a copy button that copies the hex code to your clipboard. You can also export the entire color palette as a JSON file using the "Export Palette" button. The JSON includes all color information: hex codes, RGB values, pixel counts, and percentages for each color.
The percentage shows how much of the image uses that particular color. A higher percentage means the color appears more frequently in the image. For example, if a blue color shows 35%, it means approximately 35% of the image pixels are that shade of blue or very similar shades grouped into that color.
Absolutely! Color extraction from images is a popular technique for creating cohesive website color schemes. Upload a photo that matches your brand aesthetic, extract the dominant colors, and use those hex codes in your CSS. This ensures your website colors complement your imagery and maintain visual consistency across your design.
