Extract Color Palettes from Any Image Using JavaScript (Free Tool)

Extract Color Palettes from Any Image Using JavaScript 🎨

As a developer or designer, finding the right color palette can be frustrating.

You often:

  • Take a screenshot
  • Open multiple tools
  • Manually pick colors

It breaks your workflow.

So I built a simple solution.

This free tool lets you:

  • Upload any image
  • Instantly extract dominant colors
  • Get HEX codes
  • Copy colors in one click

No signup. No complexity.
