or click to select it

Samples about 20,000 pixels, groups them with the median-cut algorithm and returns each group's average color in HEX, ordered from the one covering the most area to the least.

Use cases

  • Extracting a color palette from an inspiration photo.
  • Finding a logo's dominant colors to reuse them.
  • Generating a palette from a product image.

How it works

  1. 1

    Upload your image

    Drag the file in or pick one from your device.

  2. 2

    Copy the colors

    Click any color in the resulting palette to copy its HEX.

Technical details

  • You get up to 6 colors. Each is the average of its group, so it may not exactly match any single pixel in the image.
  • Transparent or nearly transparent pixels are ignored, so the background of a cut-out PNG doesn't count.
  • For a harmonious palette built from a specific color, use the palette generator.
  • Limits: one image at a time, up to 25 MB and 40 megapixels.

Frequently asked questions

How many colors does it extract?

Up to 6, ordered from most to least present in the image. An image with very few distinct colors may give repeated or very similar tones.
