Color Palette from Image (Free, No Upload)

Drop the image into the tool above. It is read instantly in your browser — nothing is uploaded — and the dominant colors are extracted automatically using median-cut quantization. Click any swatch to copy its HEX code, or use the eyedropper to pick any pixel. You can export the whole palette as CSS variables, Tailwind theme tokens, or JSON.

No. The image is decoded and analyzed entirely in your browser using the Canvas API — the pixels never leave your device. This is the privacy-safe way to extract palettes from client work, logos, or personal photos.

Yes. Turn on the eyedropper above the image, then click any pixel. The exact color under your cursor is shown with its HEX, RGB, and HSL values, each one-click copyable.

Three paste-ready formats: CSS custom properties (:root { --color-1: … }), Tailwind v4 @theme tokens (--color-brand-1: …), and JSON. Designers and developers can paste the output straight into a stylesheet or config.

You choose: anywhere from 4 to 12 dominant colors with the slider. Six is a good default for most designs. Each swatch also shows a contrast hint — whether white or black text reads better on it, with the WCAG contrast ratio.

Yes. Colors themselves cannot be copyrighted, so HEX codes pulled from any image are free to use in commercial work. (The image itself may still be copyrighted — the palette is yours, the photo may not be.)

Photos with rich, varied color — nature shots, product photography, illustrations. Avoid nearly single-color images or photos shot under harsh artificial light, which skew the results. For exact brand-color matches, use a PNG original: JPEG compression shifts edge colors slightly.
