Extract dominant colors from any photo to create beautiful, harmonious design schemes and mood boards instantly.
Supports JPG, PNG, WebP
Upload an image to generate your palette
Use the dominant color for your primary brand elements and the lighter shades for backgrounds or secondary accents to maintain visual balance.
Creating a cohesive color scheme is one of the most challenging parts of design. Whether you're building a website, designing a logo, or decorating a room, nature and photography often provide the best inspiration. Our image palette generator allows you to "steal" the color harmony found in professional photography and apply it to your own projects. By extracting dominant colors directly from an image, you ensure that your design feels natural and balanced.
Our tool uses a sophisticated pixel-sampling algorithm to identify the most prominent colors in your photo. Unlike a simple image color picker which requires you to click individual pixels, this generator analyzes the entire image to find a balanced set of shades.
Branding starts with a feeling. If you have a photo that represents the "vibe" of your brand, you can use this tool to create a professional brand palette in seconds. It's also an essential tool for creating mood boards. If you find that your image is too large for certain platforms, you can use our image resizer before or after extracting your colors.
We value your privacy. Unlike other online tools that upload your photos to a server, our generate color palette from image online tool works entirely within your browser. Your images never leave your computer. If you are concerned about the data hidden within your images, you can also use our image metadata viewer to see what information is stored in your files.
When extracting colors, try to use high-quality images with a clear subject. Landscapes, architecture, and macro photography usually yield the most diverse and usable palettes. Remember the 60-30-10 rule: use your primary color for 60% of the design, a secondary color for 30%, and an accent color for the final 10%.
We support all standard web formats, including JPG, PNG, WebP, and GIF. For the best color extraction results, we recommend using high-resolution JPG or PNG files.
