It’s a free online tool that analyzes an image and extracts its most representative colors – the dominant color palette. Designers use it to build brand kits, UI themes, or simply get inspired by an image’s color scheme. This version works entirely in your browser using the clipboard or drag & drop – no files are ever uploaded.

Copy any image to your clipboard (right‑click → Copy image, or use Ctrl+C on a selected image). Then click the paste area above and press Ctrl+V (or Cmd+V on Mac). The image will appear instantly and the palette will be generated.

All common web formats work: PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP, BMP, and even SVG (though SVG is rasterized for color extraction). The browser’s native image decoder handles the heavy lifting.

We use a fast color quantization technique: the image is drawn onto a hidden canvas, each pixel’s RGB channels are reduced to 4‑bit resolution (4096 possible colors), and the most frequent colors are returned. This approach is deterministic, lightning fast, and yields perceptually accurate palettes without complex clustering.

Yes – use the slider below the image preview to choose between 3 and 12 dominant colors. The palette updates instantly as you drag the slider.

Never. Everything happens inside your browser. The image is processed locally on your device using the Canvas API and is never sent to a server. Your privacy is 100% guaranteed.

Different extractors use different algorithms (k‑means, median cut, color quantization depth). Our 4‑bit quantization favors the most frequently occurring colors, which often matches the “main” colors a human perceives. Try adjusting the color count for finer results.
