How does the palette extractor work?

The tool uses the Canvas API to read pixel data from your uploaded image, then applies color quantization to analyze the color distribution, extracting the most frequent dominant colors. Everything runs locally: en/palette-extractor/index.html and other values are processed on your device, never sent to a server.

What image formats are supported?

JPG/JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, WebP, SVG and any format your browser can render. Images with rich colors (photos, artwork, designs) produce better results.

How to use the extracted colors?

Click any color swatch to copy the HEX value. Export all colors as text with HEX+RGB values. Use them for web design, UI, branding, presentations, and more.

Can I adjust the number of colors?

Yes. Choose 3, 5, 7, or 10 colors. More colors give finer details but the colors may be closer together.

Absolutely. Images are processed locally using the Canvas API. Nothing is uploaded to any server. Your image stays on your device.
