Product photos, screenshots, and mood boards often contain the color direction you need for a new layout. This extractor analyzes an uploaded image in the browser, groups frequent colors, and returns reusable HEX values without requiring a server upload.
Palette extraction concepts
Quantization
Nearby colors are grouped so tiny pixel differences do not overwhelm the palette.
HEX output
Extracted colors are shown as web-ready codes that can be reused in CSS or design tools.
How to use
- Upload an image and let the browser read it through a small canvas.
- Review the six extracted color candidates and compare their balance.
- Click a HEX value to copy it into your design file or stylesheet.
Frequently asked questions
Is my image uploaded to a server?
The component reads the file locally with FileReader and canvas, then calculates colors in the browser.
Can this identify an exact brand color?
It is best for fast reference palettes. For exact logo or brand colors, confirm against the original guide or a precise eyedropper sample.
Why do I see several similar colors?
Lighting, shadows, compression, and gradients can make one area produce several nearby colors. Curate the final palette manually.
