Colour Palette Extractor
Extract the dominant colours from any image as hex and RGB codes, ready to paste into your design.
What it does
Colour Palette Extractor works on JPG, PNG and WEBP images and writes a new file; the one you dropped in is untouched. Pull the main colours out of an image.
When you need it
Usually because something downstream has an opinion: a profile photo that must be square, a marketplace that rejects anything over a certain width, a print that needs the right proportions, or a phone photo that arrived rotated.
Limits and caveats
Enlarging an image cannot add detail that was never captured, so scaling up softens it. Saving to a lossy format re-encodes the pixels, which is worth doing once rather than repeatedly on the same file. Everything happens in your browser, so the file never leaves your device.
How to colour palette extractor
- Drop an image — a photo, a logo, a screenshot.
- KIVO groups its pixels and shows the eight most common colours.
- Copy any hex code, or all of them at once.
Frequently asked questions
- How are the colours chosen?
- Pixels are grouped into a colour cube and the busiest groups win, averaged back to their true shade. The percentage shows how much of the image each covers.
- Do my files get uploaded?
- No. This tool runs entirely in your browser, so the file never leaves your device.
