Questions
How are the dominant colors extracted?
The tool uses a median cut algorithm on the image pixel data. It samples pixels, groups similar colors, and splits color ranges to find the most representative colors in the image.
Can I export the palette?
Yes, you can export the palette as CSS custom properties or as a JSON array. Click any color swatch to copy its hex value to your clipboard.
How many colors does the palette extractor return?
The tool extracts between 4 and 8 dominant colors by default. This range covers the primary and secondary tones in most images without overwhelming you with minor color variations.
What types of images produce the best color palettes?
Photographs with distinct color regions, like landscapes, product shots, and illustrations, produce the most useful palettes. Images that are mostly one color will return a narrow palette with subtle shade variations.
Is the color palette extractor private?
Yes. Your image is processed entirely in the browser using Canvas pixel data. No images are uploaded to any server.
