How does this tool work?
The extractor analyzes thousands of pixels in your image, groups visually similar colors together, and selects the most dominant and most distinct colors to build a balanced palette. Everything happens in real time — your image is processed in memory and is never saved to our servers.
What are HEX and RGB color codes?
HEX represents a color with six hexadecimal digits (like #F5A524) and is the standard format in web design and tools such as Photoshop, Figma, and Canva. RGB describes the same color as a mix of red, green, and blue values from 0 to 255, commonly used in CSS and digital screens. Want the full breakdown? Read our guide: HEX vs RGB vs HSL explained.
What can you do with an extracted palette?
Extracting colors from an image helps you build a consistent visual identity: pick brand colors from a product photo, match your social media posts to a cover image, choose website colors from a hero photo, or coordinate interior colors from a picture you love. Professional designers usually start from a reference image instead of choosing colors at random — see our step-by-step brand palette guide.
Is my image safe?
Yes. Your image is held in server memory only for the few milliseconds the analysis takes, then it is automatically discarded when the request ends. There is no storage, no sharing, and no later use of your images. See our privacy policy for details.
