Extract Beautiful Color Palettes From Any Image

Upload a photo, painting, or screenshot and CipherForces extracts the dominant colors as a ready-to-use palette. Choose how many colors to return (3 to 10), preview the palette with color names and hex codes, export as CSS variables, Tailwind config, Figma/Adobe ASE, or copy the hex list.

Common Use Cases

  • Brand palette development: Extract colors from your logo to build a full design system.
  • Website design: Pull a palette from a hero photo to match the imagery throughout the site.
  • Interior design: Derive a room's color story from a single inspiration photo.
  • Illustration reference: Sample colors from favorite artwork for your own pieces.

Key Features

  • K-means clustering: Smart algorithm finds perceptually-distinct colors, not just the most common pixels.
  • Named colors: Hex codes plus human-readable names (e.g. "Deep Teal").
  • Multiple export formats: CSS variables, Tailwind config, Figma-ready, ASE, plain hex list.
  • Contrast check: See which combinations pass WCAG AA/AAA for accessibility.

Privacy: All color extraction happens in your browser. No upload.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

How do I generate a color palette from an image?

Open the color palette generator, then drag and drop your image or click to select a file. The tool reads the picture in your browser and pulls out its main colors automatically. You can then copy any HEX code with one click and use the palette in your design work.

Is my image uploaded to a server when I extract colors?

No. This color palette generator runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript, so your image never leaves your device or touches a server. All color extraction happens locally on your own computer, which keeps private photos, screenshots, and unreleased designs fully on your machine.

Can I get HEX codes for the colors in my palette?

Yes. After the tool extracts a palette from your image, each swatch shows its HEX code, and you can copy any value with a single click. Paste those codes straight into CSS, design software, or a style guide to match your colors exactly.

Does the color palette generator cost anything or require signup?

No. The color palette generator is free to use and needs no account, email, or signup. You can extract palettes from as many images as you like with no limits and no payment. Because everything runs in your browser, there is nothing to install either.
