How to use

Extract dominant colors from any uploaded image

  1. 1 Upload an image file or paste a direct image URL into the field.
  2. 2 Let the tool draw the image to a canvas and sample its pixel data with getImageData.
  3. 3 Review the dominant color swatches and click any swatch to copy an individual hex code.
  4. 4 Copy the full palette as CSS custom properties or as a Tailwind config snippet for your project.

Extracting a palette from an image is useful for branding, moodboards, social graphics, UI inspiration, and design system setup. This tool samples the image directly in the browser with a canvas so it can group similar colors and surface a compact set of dominant swatches without sending the file anywhere else.

The export options make the palette immediately practical for implementation. CSS variables are helpful when you want quick tokens for a stylesheet, while the Tailwind snippet gives you a ready-to-paste starting point for extending a design system. If a remote image blocks canvas access because of CORS, uploading the file directly is usually the fastest workaround.
