Our tool goes beyond simple color picking by providing detailed information about each color, including hex codes, RGB values, and the percentage of the image each color occupies. This makes it invaluable for designers, developers, and artists who need precise color information.

Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is the color extraction?▼
Our tool analyzes every pixel in your image with high precision. Similar colors are intelligently grouped together (quantized) to provide cleaner, more useful results. The accuracy is excellent for most design and development purposes, providing exact hex codes for each dominant color.
What image formats are supported?▼
We support all common image formats including JPG, JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, and more. The tool can handle images up to 10MB in size. For best results, use uncompressed or lightly compressed images.
Can I extract colors from logos or icons?▼
Absolutely! The tool works great with logos, icons, and vector graphics. For best results with logos, use PNG files with transparent backgrounds. The tool will ignore transparent pixels and focus on the actual logo colors.
How do I use the extracted colors in my design software?▼
Simply click any color to copy its hex code to your clipboard. Then paste it into your design software (Photoshop, Figma, Sketch, etc.) or CSS code. Most design tools accept hex codes in their color pickers. You can also download the entire palette as an image for reference.
Why are similar colors grouped together?▼
We use color quantization to group very similar shades together. This gives you cleaner, more useful results by showing distinct colors rather than hundreds of nearly identical shades. For example, multiple shades of blue that are visually similar will be represented as one dominant blue color.
Is this tool completely free?▼
Yes! Our color palette extractor is 100% free with no limitations. You can extract colors from unlimited images, download palettes, and use all features without any costs or registration requirements.
Are my images stored or uploaded anywhere?▼
No! All color extraction happens locally in your browser. Your images never leave your device and are not uploaded to any server. This ensures complete privacy and also means the tool works offline once loaded.
