Extract Hex Colors from Any Image

Whether you are designing a brand identity, building a website theme, or recreating a color scheme from a photo, knowing the exact hex codes of an image is essential. Our Color Palette Extractor analyzes every pixel of your uploaded image and surfaces the most dominant, visually distinct colors as copyable hex codes.

The algorithm uses a fast quantization technique to cluster similar colors together, then applies a minimum distance filter to ensure the palette only contains truly distinct hues — not dozens of nearly-identical shades.

Use Cases for Designers & Developers

Brand Identity: Extract colors from a logo or product photo to create a consistent brand style guide.
UI/UX Design: Match a website or app theme to colors found in a hero image or illustration.
Social Media: Create visually cohesive posts by using colors extracted from your hero photography.
CSS Theming: Copy hex codes directly into your stylesheet or CSS custom properties for pixel-perfect accuracy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I extract from a URL?

Yes — paste any public image URL. Note that many sites block cross-origin loading (CORS). Uploading the file always works reliably.

How many colors are extracted?

You can choose between 3 and 12. The tool uses smart quantization and removes near-duplicates for a clean, useful palette.

Is my uploaded image sent to any server?

No. All image processing is performed entirely inside your browser using the Canvas API. Your images never leave your device.
