How It Works
Upload Your Image
Drag and drop or click to select a JPEG, PNG, or WebP image. Files up to 50 MB are supported.
Colors Extracted Instantly
The tool samples pixels across your image and identifies the 6 most dominant colors using brightness-weighted quantization — all inside your browser.
Copy HEX Codes
Click any color swatch to copy its HEX value, or use "Copy All" to grab all 6 codes as a comma-separated list for your design tool.
Supported Image Formats
| Format | Best For | Transparency | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| JPEG | Photographs, product shots | No | Most common format; smallest file size for photos |
| PNG | Logos, graphics, screenshots | Yes | Transparent pixels are excluded from color sampling |
| WebP | Web images, modern exports | Yes | Modern format with excellent quality-to-size ratio |
Popular Use Cases
Brand Color Extraction
Upload your logo or brand imagery to extract your exact brand palette. Get the HEX codes to ensure color consistency across all your marketing materials.
Campaign Color Matching
Marketers can extract colors from campaign photos to maintain a cohesive visual theme across social posts, ads, and landing pages.
Design Token Creation
Developers can use extracted colors to bootstrap design tokens for new projects, ensuring the UI reflects the visual identity from day one.
Feed Aesthetic Planning
Social media managers can extract palette colors from curated reference images to plan a consistent, on-brand Instagram or LinkedIn feed.
Pro Tips
Crop Before Extracting
If your image has a large plain background, crop to the area of interest first. The extractor weights by frequency — backgrounds dominate if left in.
Use High-Resolution Sources
Higher-resolution images produce more accurate color samples. The tool downscales internally for performance, but starts from the full-res original.
Extract from Your Logo for Brand Colors
Your logo is the most reliable source for brand colors. Upload it directly to get the exact HEX codes your designers use.
Limit Your Working Palette to 2–3 Colors
You'll get 6 colors, but effective brand palettes typically use 2–3 primary colors. Pick the most meaningful ones and use the rest as accents.
Check Contrast After Extracting
Run your extracted colors through the Color Contrast Checker to verify they meet WCAG AA standards before using them for text on backgrounds.
Save Your Palette Before Closing
The tool does not store your colors between sessions. Copy all HEX codes to a note, design file, or color system before navigating away.
Next step
Palette pulled? Put it to work
Once you have your colors, the next step is applying them consistently. See how AI image generation for social media can render on-brand visuals, verify legibility with the color contrast checker, then plan your feed layout in the grid maker.
