What is Color Palette Extractor?
Pull the colour scheme out of a photo, screenshot or design. The tool analyses every pixel, groups similar shades together and returns the dominant colours as hex codes — ordered by how much of the image each one covers.
How to use Color Palette Extractor
- Choose the image you want to take colours from.
- The palette appears automatically, strongest colour first.
- Click any swatch to copy its hex code to your clipboard.
Why use this tool?
Build a palette from inspiration
Found a photo or design with colours you like? This turns it into usable hex values in seconds instead of eyedropping shade by shade.
Ordered by prominence
Colours are ranked by how much of the image they occupy, so the first swatches are the ones that actually define the look.
Frequently asked questions
How are the colours chosen?
Pixels are grouped into colour buckets and averaged, so near-identical shades merge into one representative swatch rather than returning dozens of almost-identical values.
Why do I get fewer than eight colours?
Simple graphics genuinely contain only a few distinct colours, so only the ones actually present are returned rather than padding the list.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Every tool on Toolraq runs entirely inside your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your file never leaves your device — there is no upload endpoint at all. You can verify this yourself by opening your browser’s DevTools Network tab while you use the tool.
