What is the Color Palette Extractor?
Upload a photo, logo, screenshot or artwork and get its most important colours instantly. The tool groups the image's pixels with k-means clustering to find 3 to 12 dominant colours, ranks them by how much of the image they cover, and shows each as a HEX code, RGB and HSL value you can copy with one click.
Click anywhere on the picture to pick the exact colour of a single pixel, copy the whole list, copy ready-to-paste CSS variables, or download the palette as an image. Designers use it to build colour schemes from inspiration photos, brands to match colours to a logo, and developers to theme a page from a hero image. Processing is local — the image never leaves your device.

Questions people ask
How are the colours chosen?
By k-means clustering of the image's pixels, which finds the colour groups that best represent the picture.
Is my image uploaded?
No. The image is analysed in your browser.
Can I get the exact colour of one spot?
Yes, click the image and read the HEX, RGB and HSL of that pixel.
Can I export the palette?
Yes — copy the HEX list, copy CSS variables or download a PNG.
Why does the palette change slightly each time I change the count?
Different numbers of groups split the colours differently; the dominant colours stay similar.
