How it works

  1. Choose an image. Select a JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF or BMP file.
  2. Colours are extracted. The dominant colours are clustered from the image in your browser.
  3. Copy a swatch. Click any swatch to copy its HEX code — nothing is uploaded.

About this tool

Drop in a photo, screenshot or piece of artwork and this tool pulls out its dominant colours as a ready-to-use palette. The image is drawn to a canvas and its pixels are clustered right in your browser, so each swatch is shown with its HEX code — click one to copy it. Because the whole thing runs on your device, the picture is never uploaded, which keeps private mockups and brand assets private. Choose how many colours you want — 4, 6 or 8 — in Advanced options.

What people use it for

  • Build a palette from a photo or screenshot
  • Match brand colours from a logo or mockup
  • Pick complementary tones for a design
  • Grab the exact HEX of a colour in an image
