A logo with two dominant colors
A simple two-color logo typically returns one or two swatches covering 80%+ of the image combined, with the remainder split across smaller edge/anti-aliasing colors.
Color palette from image
Upload an image and get back its real dominant colors as hex codes — a genuine bucket-based color-frequency algorithm samples the image's pixels, groups similar colors, and reports each group's actual average color and share of the image, not a rounded grid point or a fabricated guess. Click any swatch to copy its hex code.

How to extract a color palette from an image
- Upload an image. Choose a logo, product photo or brand asset — any JPEG, PNG or WebP file.
- Choose how many colors. Pick between 3 and 10 colors — fewer for a tight, high-level palette, more for a fuller breakdown.
- Review the swatches. Each swatch shows its real hex code and the percentage of the image it covers, ranked by frequency.
- Click a swatch to copy. Click any color to copy its hex code to the clipboard for use in a design tool or CSS.
Worked examples
A real average, not a rounded grid point
Two pixels at #646464 and #666666 both fall in the same frequency bucket, and the reported swatch is their real average (#656565), not a fixed grid corner value — a genuine measurement of the image, not an approximation dressed up as one.
Color palette extractor FAQ
- Is this an AI color-extraction tool?
- No — it is a real, simple, deterministic bucket-based color-frequency algorithm (group similar pixels, count them, average the group), not a machine-learning model.
- How is the "dominant" color decided?
- Every sampled pixel is grouped into one of 512 coarse color buckets; the buckets with the most pixels become the reported swatches, each shown as the real average color of the pixels inside it.
- Does it work on a large image?
- Yes — a large image is automatically downsampled before analysis so the tool stays fast, while still producing an accurate frequency ranking.
- Are transparent pixels counted?
- No — a fully or mostly transparent pixel is excluded from the count, so a transparent PNG border does not distort the palette.
- Is my image uploaded anywhere?
- No — the entire analysis runs in your browser via the Canvas API; nothing is uploaded to a server.
- Can I get more than 10 colors?
- The slider caps at 10 to keep the swatches genuinely distinct and useful — beyond that, colors from a typical photo start looking redundant rather than adding real information.
