How to use the Image Color Extractor

The tool reads the image’s pixels on a canvas in your browser and groups similar colors into clusters, so the most frequent and representative colors rise to the top. It returns those cluster centers as a small set of dominant swatches with their HEX values — no server round-trip required.

Frequently asked

Is my image uploaded to a server?
No. The image is processed entirely in your browser using the canvas API, so it never leaves your device and the tool works offline.
How are the dominant colors chosen?
Pixels are grouped into clusters of similar color and the largest, most representative clusters become the extracted swatches.
What image formats can I use?
Common web formats like JPG, PNG, WebP and GIF work, as well as screenshots from your clipboard or files.
How is this different from Photo Palette?
This tool focuses on pulling the raw dominant colors; Photo Palette arranges them into a curated, ready-to-use palette.
