UlvixorColor Palette Extractor
Upload an image and instantly get its dominant colors in HEX and RGB format, with the approximate percentage each one covers, ready to copy with one click. All analysis happens in your browser.
How it works
- Select an image from your device using the file picker.
- The tool groups pixels into a reduced color space (buckets of similar hue) and counts how many pixels fall into each bucket.
- The most frequent colors are shown as visual swatches, with their HEX code, RGB value, and the approximate percentage of the image they represent.
- Adjust how many colors to extract with the slider.
- Click any color to copy its HEX code to the clipboard.
Use cases
- Extract the color palette of a logo or product photo to use in a design.
- Pick accent colors for a website or presentation from a reference or inspiration image.
- Check which colors dominate a photo before using it in a template with a specific palette.
- Build a brand palette from product photos or an existing logo.
Common mistakes
- Expecting the exact same colors as a manual color picker (eyedropper) on one specific pixel.This tool groups similar colors together to find general trends in the image, not the exact value of one particular pixel. If you need the exact color at a specific point, use an image editor's eyedropper tool instead.
- Analyzing an image with large transparent areas expecting them to be ignored without any context.Mostly-transparent pixels are automatically excluded from the analysis, so a transparent background doesn't skew the color palette.
- Requesting many colors from an image with very few truly dominant colors.If the image has only a couple of clearly distinct color areas, asking for more colors than that can start showing very subtle variations of the same tone instead of genuinely different colors.
Frequently asked questions
No. Color analysis happens entirely in your browser with canvas. The image is never sent to any server.
Each pixel is grouped into a 'bucket' based on a reduced version of its red, green, and blue values. The tool counts how many pixels fall into each bucket, picks the most frequent ones, and averages the exact color of the pixels within each to show a representative swatch.
It's the approximate share of analyzed (non-transparent) pixels that belong to that color group, relative to the whole image.
Yes. Mostly-transparent pixels are excluded from the count, so the analysis focuses on the image's visible colors.
Alternatives
Tools like Adobe Color or dedicated palette websites do something similar, often requiring you to upload the image to a server. This tool calculates the palette entirely in your browser, without uploading your image to any external site.
