About this tool
Found a photo with the perfect mood and want its palette? Upload it and this tool samples the pixels, groups similar colors, and ranks the six most dominant ones with their coverage percentages.
Everything happens locally on your device — your images are never uploaded anywhere, which makes it safe for client work and personal photos alike.
How to use
- Upload an image using the file picker.
- Wait a moment while pixels are sampled.
- Copy any dominant color, or copy the whole palette.
