About the Color Palette Generator
Our Color Palette Generator is a tool for designers, developers, and artists to easily extract a color scheme from any image. Simply upload a photo, and our tool will analyze its pixels to identify the most dominant colors, presenting them as a beautiful, usable palette. You can copy the HEX and RGB codes with a single click, making it easy to use your new color scheme in your projects.
How to Use the Tool
- Click the "Browse your files" link or drag and drop an image into the upload area.
- Once your image appears, the tool will automatically generate a palette of 8 dominant colors.
- Use the "Number of Colors" slider in the Settings panel to generate a smaller or larger palette, from 2 to 20 colors.
- To use a color, simply click on its HEX or RGB code below the colored swatch to copy it to your clipboard.
- Click "Clear Image" to start over, or "Try a Sample Image" to see how the tool works with a pre-loaded photo.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the color extraction work?
This tool uses a powerful algorithm called Median Cut Quantization. It analyzes the pixels in your image and groups them into clusters based on their color values. It then finds the average color of each cluster to determine the most dominant shades, which are then presented as your palette.
Is my image uploaded to your server?
No, your privacy is our priority. The entire process—from reading the image file to extracting the colors—happens directly in your web browser. Your images are never sent to or stored on our servers.
What image formats are supported?
You can upload most common web image formats, including PNG, JPG/JPEG, GIF, and WEBP. For best results, use an image with a good variety of clear colors.
Can I choose how many colors are in the palette?
Yes. After you upload your image, you can use the "Number of Colors" slider in the Settings panel to generate a new palette with anywhere from 2 to 20 colors. The tool will update the palette in real-time as you adjust the slider.
How can I use the extracted colors?
Once your palette is generated, each color swatch displays its HEX and RGB color codes. Simply click on either code to instantly copy it to your clipboard. You can then paste this code into your CSS, design software like Figma or Photoshop, or any other application that uses color codes.
