Palette Extractor
Drop any image and get its dominant color palette. Click a swatch to copy the hex, or export the whole palette as CSS variables, Tailwind config or an Adobe .ase swatch file for Photoshop and Illustrator. Everything runs in your browser — your images never leave your computer.
How does it work?
The tool samples the pixels of your image and clusters them with a k-means algorithm — each swatch is the center of a real cluster of colors in your image. The result is a palette of the most representative colors, sorted from dark to light, not just the most frequent ones.
What can I do with the exports?
CSS gives you ready-to-paste custom properties (--color-1: #…).
Tailwind gives you a colors block for your config file.
.ase is the Adobe Swatch Exchange format — open it in Photoshop,
Illustrator or InDesign and the palette lands straight in your swatches panel.
Is it really private?
Yes. There is no upload: all processing happens in your browser using canvas and JavaScript. Close the tab and nothing remains.

This tool is free and always will be. If it saved you time, a coffee keeps the robot scary.
