Click to upload or drag and drop
Supports JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP

How It Works

The color extraction algorithm analyzes the image to identify the most dominant and visually significant colors. The process:

  • Extracts up to 5 distinct colors from the image
  • Filters out very dark colors and similar shades (to avoid using the black bars from letterbox formats)
  • Prioritizes colors by their frequency in the image
  • Click any color swatch to copy its hex code

This tool uses the same color palette extraction tool that powers the film still galleries on this site.
