Image Color Extractor
Upload any image and instantly extract its dominant colors as HEX and RGB values. Perfect for building color palettes from photos or brand assets.
How it works
The image is drawn to an off-screen canvas at a reduced size for performance. Pixels are sampled and grouped by similar color using a quantization step. The most frequent color groups are returned as your dominant palette.
Frequently asked questions
How are colors extracted?
The image is drawn to a hidden canvas, then every few pixels are sampled. Similar colors are grouped together by rounding RGB values to the nearest 32, and the most frequent groups become the dominant colors.
Is my image uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything runs in your browser with the Canvas API. Your image stays on your device.
Why do some colors look slightly off?
Colors are quantized (rounded) to group similar shades together. This is intentional — without quantization you would get thousands of slightly different colors instead of meaningful palettes.
How many colors does it show?
Up to 10 dominant colors, sorted by how much of the image they cover.
