What is a Color Palette Generator and Why Use One?
Unlocking Design Inspiration from Any Image
A great color scheme is the foundation of any beautiful design. But finding the perfect combination of colors can be a challenge. Our free Image Color Palette Generator is a powerful tool for designers, artists, and developers that takes the guesswork out of creating stunning color schemes. By simply uploading an image, you can instantly extract its most dominant colors, complete with their HEX codes, providing you with a harmonious palette to kickstart your creative process.
This tool is perfect for when you find a photograph, illustration, or brand logo with a color scheme you love. Instead of trying to manually pick the colors, you can use this utility to get an accurate, machine-generated palette in seconds. And because our tool is built with a privacy-first, client-side architecture, your images are never uploaded to a server, ensuring your inspiration and work remain 100% private.
Key Use Cases for a Color Palette Extractor:
- Web & UI Design: Generate a complete color scheme for a new website or app based on a hero image or brand photo.
- Branding & Marketing: Create consistent and harmonious marketing materials by building a palette from your company's logo or product imagery.
- Art & Illustration: Find inspiration for your next digital painting or illustration by analyzing the colors in a reference photo.
- Fashion & Interior Design: Pull colors from a photo of a fabric, a room, or a landscape to create a coordinated look.
How to Extract a Color Palette from an Image
A simple step-by-step guide to generating your color scheme.
- Upload Your Image: Click the upload area and select an image file (JPG, PNG, WEBP, etc.) from your device. Your file is processed directly in your browser and is never sent to our servers.
- Choose Your Palette Size: Use the "Palette Size" slider to decide how many colors you want to extract. A smaller number (like 5) is great for a primary theme, while a larger number (like 16) provides more accent and secondary colors.
- Copy Your HEX Codes: Your new color palette will appear with each color's corresponding HEX code. Simply click on any color swatch to copy its code to your clipboard, ready to paste into your design software or CSS file.
