Click any color swatch to copy its HEX code. Export the full palette as a PNG to share with your team or keep as a design reference.
<strong>Color Palette Extractor</strong> is a free, browser-based tool that identifies the 6 dominant colors in any image you upload. Whether you're a designer seeking inspiration, a developer extracting brand colors from a client's photo, or a marketer building a visual identity, this tool gives you exact HEX and RGB codes in seconds.
The extraction runs entirely in your browser using the <strong>median cut quantization algorithm</strong> — the same technique used in professional design software. The algorithm partitions the color space of the image into clusters, identifying the most visually significant color groups. No image data is ever sent to a server; your files stay on your device throughout the process.
Common use cases include: <strong>extracting a brand color palette</strong> from a logo or product photo, <strong>finding accent colors</strong> for a UI that needs to match a photograph, <strong>studying color theory</strong> by analyzing the palettes of paintings or illustrations, or simply <strong>identifying a specific color</strong> you spotted in an image.
Once extracted, you can <strong>copy any HEX code</strong> to your clipboard with a single click, or <strong>export the full palette as a PNG</strong> with labeled swatches to share with your team or use as a reference in Figma, Sketch, or your design workflow of choice.
