What is the Image Color Extractor?

Find the colors an image is made of: the tool groups similar pixels to show the main colors and how much of the image each covers. Click anywhere on the image to pick that exact color.

How it works

How to use the Image Color Extractor

3 simple steps. No experience needed.

What can you use it for?

  • Build a color palette from a photo or logo.
  • Find the exact HEX code of a color in a screenshot.
  • Match your design to a brand image.

Main colors vs picked colors

The palette shows the most common color groups in the whole image and what share each covers — useful for building a color scheme from a photo. Clicking the image picks the exact color of that single pixel, like an eyedropper.

Using the colors elsewhere

Every color is shown with a code you can copy. Paste it into the color converter to get RGB, HSL or CMYK, or check two of them together in the contrast checker.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How are the main colors chosen?

Similar pixels are grouped together (a method called k-means), and each group's average color is shown with its share of the image.

Can I get colors from a website?

Take a screenshot, then drop it here.

Why don't I see a color I expected?

Small details can be outnumbered by bigger areas. Increase the number of main colors, or click the detail directly to pick it.
