What is the Image Color Palette Extractor?
The Image Color Palette Extractor is a free online tool that finds the dominant colors in any picture. Upload an image and it samples the pixels, groups similar colors together, and shows you the 6 most common ones as swatches with HEX codes. Designers use it to build color schemes from photos, match brand colors, or pick UI colors that already work well together. Click any swatch to copy its HEX code straight to your clipboard.
How it works
- Upload: choose any JPG, PNG, WebP, or GIF image.
- Sampling: the image is drawn to a small 100px canvas and every pixel is read. Similar colors are bucketed together by rounding each RGB channel to steps of 32, then the buckets are ranked by pixel count.
- Top 6: the six most frequent color buckets are shown as swatches with their HEX values.
Tips and honest notes
Because colors are grouped in 32-step buckets, the HEX values are close approximations of the real averages — great for inspiration and palettes, not for exact color matching. Photos with large areas of sky, skin, or background will naturally favor those tones. Everything runs locally in your browser, so your images stay private and the extraction is instant.
