Extract Colors From Your Images
Our color extraction tool helps you instantly analyze and retrieve the most dominant colors from any image. Whether you're a designer building a consistent brand palette, a developer needing CSS variables, or a marketer studying color trends — this tool delivers accurate results in seconds.
Key Features
Smart Color Extraction
Advanced color quantization groups similar shades together, producing a clean, representative palette — not just a list of every pixel.
One-click Copy
Click any color swatch to copy it in your chosen format (HEX, RGB, or HSL). Use 'Copy All' to grab the entire palette at once.
Multiple Export Formats
Export your palette as a plain TXT file, ready-to-use CSS Variables (:root { --color-1: #hex }), or structured JSON data.
Frequency Analysis
Each color displays its percentage presence in the image, and the palette bar visualizes proportions at a glance.
Flexible Sorting
Sort colors by frequency, hue (color wheel order), or brightness to match your specific workflow needs.
Adjustable Color Count
Extract anywhere from 5 to 30 colors — perfect for both minimal palettes and detailed color analysis.
How to Use
Upload Your Image
Drag & drop or click the upload area to select an image from your device. Supports JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, and TIFF.
Automatic Analysis

Frequently Asked Questions
❓ Does this tool run entirely in the browser?
Yes. All analysis is performed locally in your browser using the Canvas API. Your images are never uploaded to any server, ensuring complete privacy.
❓ Why might I get fewer colors than I requested?
If an image contains fewer distinct color groups than your setting (e.g. a simple icon or flat-color illustration), the tool returns only the colors actually present.
❓ How are CSS Variables exported?
The CSS file uses the format :root { --color-1: #hex; --color-2: #hex; ... } — paste it directly into your stylesheet and you're ready to go.
❓ Does it handle images with transparency (alpha)?
Yes. Pixels with an alpha value below 128 (semi-transparent or fully transparent) are automatically skipped during analysis so they don't affect your results.
❓ Is there a file size limit?
There is no hard limit, but for very large images (> 10 MB), the algorithm automatically samples pixels to maintain fast processing while preserving accuracy.
Why Choose Our Tool?
Unlike basic color pickers that just sample individual pixels, our tool applies intelligent quantization to group similar hues and deliver a meaningful, actionable palette. Combined with CSS Variables and JSON export, it fits seamlessly into both design and development workflows. Best of all — it's completely free, runs in your browser with no installation or sign-up required, and never stores your data.
