What this tool does

Find the most common colors in an image, preview a practical palette, and download the measured color data as JSON.

Decode → sample pixels → quantize RGB → rank color frequency → JSON report

Processing stays in this browser tab. Very large images can exceed the memory available on phones or older computers.

Supported formats

The tool accepts browser-decodable still images. Animated input is handled as a single displayed frame. SVG is not accepted for pixel tools because safe rasterization varies by browser.

PNGSupported
JPEGSupported where the tool does not require transparency
WebPSupported when decoded by the browser

Tips for better results

  • Keep an untouched copy of the source image.
  • Inspect edges, fine text, and gradients at full size.
  • Use a smaller source if the browser reports a memory limit.

FAQ

How many dominant colors can I extract from a photo?

You can request 3 to 12 colors. Similar sampled colors are grouped into quantized buckets before the most frequent groups are ranked.

Why is the dominant color different from the color at the center?

Dominance is based on frequency across sampled pixels, not position. A large background can outweigh a small central subject.

Are transparent pixels included in the palette?

Pixels with very low alpha are ignored so transparent canvas areas do not become a false dominant color.

Can I copy the palette values into design software?

The result lists HEX and RGB values, and the downloadable JSON report preserves the palette and measured percentages.

Is the palette color-managed for professional print?

No. Browser canvas uses the browser color pipeline; the result is useful for screen work but is not a substitute for ICC-managed print sampling.
