How to extract a color palette from a PNG

To extract a palette, upload one PNG and the tool reads its actual pixel colors and sorts them by frequency, so the most-used colors appear first. That gives you the real palette rather than an eyeballed guess from the preview.

You can then copy or download the palette as HEX values, CSS variables, or JSON, so the colors move straight into design or frontend work. Exporting the full palette in a reusable format is more useful for QA and build work than stopping at a visual swatch strip.

All palette extraction and export run in your browser, so the PNG stays on your device and nothing is sent to a server.

  • Upload one PNG
  • Get a frequency-sorted palette
  • Copy or download HEX, CSS variables, or JSON

When the palette extractor helps most

The palette extractor is especially helpful on logos, stickers, icons, and simple PNG artwork, where the palette matters as a practical asset and the color count is manageable. For these graphics, the exported values can become design tokens or CSS variables directly.

Photos contain thousands of subtly different colors, so the frequency-sorted list is more of an approximate summary there. For flat graphics, though, the extracted palette closely matches the colors actually used in the file.
