Extract a color palette from any image with HEX codes — free image color picker.

About
Pulls an image's most dominant colors into a palette of 2 to 12 swatches, each with its HEX code.
Designers use it to pull a brand or mood palette straight out of a photo or reference image, while developers use it to grab exact HEX codes for a theme without eyeballing them in an editor. It's one of many free designer tools on Toolapt, and like every tool here, it's free to use with no sign-up and no limit on how many times you run it.

Upload a sunset photo with Number of colours set to 5 to get #9A474D, #F59144, #59202A, #2F1526 and #0B0207 — the glowing orange sky, the warm reds and the dark water and rocks. Click any swatch to copy its HEX code.
Upload a blue logo with dark text on a white background with Number of colours set to 3 to get #386FCA, #ACC0E1 and #FFFFFF. With so few swatches, a small dark text colour can be merged into a nearby group rather than getting its own swatch — raise the number to pick it out.
FAQ
Quick answers to common questions about the Image Colour Palette Extractor.
It analyzes an image and extracts its most dominant colors as a palette, showing each one's HEX code.
Yes. It's free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on how many times you use it.
Yes. The image is analyzed entirely on your own device using your browser's built-in Canvas API — nothing is uploaded to a server.
Choose anywhere from 2 to 12. Fewer colors gives you the broadest, most dominant tones; more colors captures finer detail in the image.
The tool samples the image's pixels and groups similar colors together, then picks the most common groups as the palette — so a large solid-colored area contributes more than a few scattered pixels of another shade.
Yes. Each swatch shows its HEX code directly, ready to select and copy into a design tool, CSS file or anywhere else you need it.
Yes. The page is fully responsive and works on mobile, tablet and desktop browsers alike.
It extracts the statistically dominant colors in an image; it won't necessarily surface a rare accent color that appears in only a tiny part of the photo.
