Color Palette Generator Online
Pull a color palette out of any image, all in your browser. Load a picture, choose how many colors to read, and the tool lays out its main swatches as HEX codes you can copy with one click. Nothing is uploaded to a server and no account is needed.
Key features
- Extract a palette from a local image - the sampling runs in the browser and each swatch copies as HEX with one click.
- Decide how fine a palette you want before you extract and set the swatch count to five, eight, twelve, or sixteen. The picture you choose shows as a preview first, so you can confirm it is the right file, and the tool works from a shrunk-down copy of the image before it samples - so even a large photo returns its main colors in a moment.
- Read each extracted color as a HEX code and copy it to the clipboard with one tap, ready to drop into CSS or a design file.
- Everything runs in the browser - no upload and no account.
When to use it
Reach for this when you have an image - a photo, a screenshot, or a piece of artwork - and need the colors inside it as HEX codes. Load the picture, pull its main swatches, and drop each HEX straight into your CSS or a design file, without matching shades by eye.
Privacy
The image you load and the swatches it yields stay on your device. Nothing is uploaded and no account is needed, so it is safe to pull colors from unreleased artwork, client mockups, or screenshots you would rather not send anywhere. For converting a single color between HEX, RGB, and HSL, see the related developer tools.
