Image Color Extractor
Click a pixel to grab its exact color, or auto-extract the dominant palette. Great for brand-color analysis and design references.
How to Use
Drag, click, or paste with Ctrl+V. PNG, JPG, and WebP are supported.
Use Eyedropper to click a single pixel, or Auto Palette to pull 5, 8, 10, or 16 dominant colors from the whole image.
Copy any color as HEX/RGB/HSL, or export the entire palette as text.
FAQ
How is the palette extracted?
A classic Median Cut algorithm that repeatedly splits the color space — the same family of techniques as Photoshop's indexed colors.
Why do I get the same result every time?
Median Cut is deterministic — for the same image and color count, the result is identical, no randomness involved.
How are large images handled?
Internally downsampled to ≤320px for analysis to keep things fast. The eyedropper still uses the full-resolution image.
What about transparency?
Mostly transparent pixels are skipped during palette analysis. The eyedropper shows alpha as-is.
Are images uploaded to a server?
No — all analysis runs in your browser canvas. The image never leaves the page.
