What is this tool?
The Palette from Image tool extracts dominant colors from a photo or graphic. Upload an image and get a color palette—the main hues that define its look. Export as CSS variables, Tailwind config, or JSON. Use it for design inspiration, brand extraction, or matching site colors to a photograph. All processing runs in your browser. Your image never leaves your device. No upload to our server.
The tool analyzes pixel data, clusters colors, and returns the most representative ones. Typically five to ten colors. You can copy hex codes, RGB values, or formatted output for your framework. CSS variables fit theme customization; Tailwind config suits design systems. The algorithm may use k-means or similar clustering; the goal is colors that capture the image's feel. Upload JPEG, PNG, or WebP. Large images may be sampled for speed; quality of extraction is usually sufficient.
Use it when a client sends a photo and wants the site to match. When building a theme from a hero image. When you need palette ideas from a reference photo. Designers use it for mood boards and color exploration. The tool doesn't replace a full color picker—it gives you a starting palette. Refine individual colors in the Color Picker or Gradient Generator as needed.
All processing is client-side. Your images stay local. No API, no storage. Free for any use. Bookmark it for design workflows and image-based color extraction.
Handy for designers and frontend developers.
