Image Color Picker & Palette Extractor

How to pick colors from an image

1. Upload a supported JPG or PNG image (max 5 MB).
2. Drag a numbered picker handle to the area you want to sample.
3. Read the HEX value shown on the handle and copy the selected color.
4. Use the Export JSON, Export JPEG, or Save actions when you want to keep the results.

AI Extract and Save require signing in. AI Extract is limited for free accounts and expanded for Pro members. Manual sampling and copying work without signing in.

Extract a color palette from a photo

There are two ways to collect colors from the same image. Dragging handles lets you sample specific locations precisely. The AI Extract action produces an automatic palette that summarizes the most visually dominant tones across the image.

An extracted palette summarizes the image; it does not necessarily include every visible color. Use manual handles when you need a specific spot, and AI Extract when you want a quick overall summary to start from.

From image colors to a usable palette

Colors sampled or extracted from a photo are a starting point for website, illustration, or brand exploration. Open the result in Color Studio to refine the combination, or browse Discover for related palettes.

Colors taken from a photograph still need contrast checks before they are used for text. A background that looks clear in the photo can fail readability once text is placed on it, so verify each text and background pair with the Contrast Checker.
