Understanding Color Palette Extraction
Design Inspiration
Pull a ready-made color palette from a photo, artwork, or brand image to use in a design project.
Frequency-Based Ranking
Colors are ranked by how often they appear in the image, so the palette reflects the image's dominant tones.
Click to Copy
Click any swatch to instantly copy its hex code to your clipboard.
Local Processing
Extraction happens entirely in your browser using the Canvas API — your image is never uploaded.
How the Palette Is Chosen
This tool samples pixels across the image and groups similar colors into buckets (rounding each RGB channel to the nearest 32), then ranks buckets by how many pixels fall into them. This approximate quantization approach surfaces the visually dominant colors without needing a heavier clustering algorithm.
