What is Image Color Palette Extractor?

Image Color Palette Extractor is a free online tool that analyzes uploaded images and identifies the dominant colors. It provides color codes in HEX, RGB, and HSL formats, making it easy to use extracted colors in design projects. The tool also includes a pixel color picker for precise color selection.

How to Use Image Color Palette Extractor

Upload an image by dragging it into the drop zone or clicking to browse. The tool automatically extracts the dominant colors. Each color is displayed with its HEX, RGB, and HSL values. Click on any color swatch to copy its HEX code. You can also click directly on the image to pick the exact color of any pixel.

How Image Color Palette Extractor Works

The tool draws the uploaded image onto an HTML5 Canvas element, then reads the pixel data using getImageData(). It groups similar colors using a quantization algorithm with RGB buckets, then ranks them by frequency. The most dominant, visually distinct colors are presented with their HEX, RGB, and HSL values.
