How to Extract Colors from an Image
Drop or select an image — JPG, PNG, WebP, or GIF. The tool analyzes the image pixels using canvas sampling and k-means color quantization to identify the dominant colors. Each color is displayed as a swatch with HEX, RGB, and HSL values. Click any swatch to copy the HEX code to your clipboard. Everything runs in your browser — your images are never uploaded.
Why Extract Colors from Photos
Designers use color extraction to create palettes inspired by photography, nature, branding materials, and art. Web developers match website colors to product photos. Artists find harmonious color combinations from reference images. Marketers ensure brand consistency by extracting exact colors from logos and marketing materials. This tool makes the process instant and free.
Understanding HEX, RGB, and HSL Colors
HEX (#FF5733) is the most common web format — 6 characters representing red, green, and blue values. RGB (rgb(255, 87, 51)) specifies color as three numbers from 0-255. HSL (hsl(14, 100%, 60%)) represents hue (0-360°), saturation (0-100%), and lightness (0-100%). This tool provides all three formats for each extracted color.
Tips for Better Color Extraction
Use high-quality images for more accurate results. Photos with distinct color areas produce cleaner palettes. Increase the color count (10-12) for complex images with many colors, or decrease it (5) for simpler images. Click individual swatches to copy HEX values for use in CSS, design tools, or any application that accepts color codes.
