What is Color Extractor?
Pull a color palette out of any image. Upload a photo and the tool samples its pixels to find the most common colors, showing each as a swatch with its HEX code. Click any swatch to copy it. Ideal for building palettes from photos, logos or screenshots.
How Color Extractor works
The image is drawn to a small canvas and its pixels are read with getImageData. Colors are grouped into buckets, counted, and the most frequent ones are shown as the palette.
Sampling a downscaled version keeps it fast while still representative.
