When to use?

Use it to pull brand colors, background colors, or a UI palette from a photo or logo.

How to use

  • Select an image.

Input Explanation

Select the photo or logo image to extract colors from.

Calculation Basis

It analyzes the pixel data to compute the dominant colors (largest area or most visually distinct) and returns them as HEX codes.

Usage Examples

  • Build a palette - Quickly extract image-based design colors.
  • Prepare images for upload - Preview the result, then tidy images for blogs, shops, or social media.
  • Compare results - Check original and result side by side for quality and display.

Examples

  • Upload a seascape photo → deep blue, emerald, white, sand HEX palette
  • Upload a brand logo → main and accent color HEX codes

Cautions

  • It processes via browser canvas, so original metadata (EXIF) may be lost or transparent areas may change color.
  • Extremely high-resolution large files may fail to convert due to browser image-decoding limits.

FAQ

Does it extract every exact color?

For performance it uses downscaled sampling and color quantization to extract representative colors.

Is the photo uploaded to a server?

No. Pixel analysis runs in the browser, so the photo is not sent out.

Can I copy the extracted color codes?

Yes. Copy each color's HEX code with the copy button to use in design tools.

How many colors are extracted?

It extracts several of the most frequent representative colors by frequency, shown as HEX codes.
