What is Image Color Extractor?
An image color extractor parses raw canvas pixel data to identify clusters of dominant colors. Our tool uses the Median-Cut algorithm, which represents pixels in a three-dimensional color space and splits the space along the median of the channel with the widest range. This yields highly accurate, representative swatches. The extracted colors are interactive, allowing one-click clipboard copying, and generate CSS variables, Tailwind config rules, SASS variables, and downloadable SVG color swatch sheets.
FAQ
- How does the extractor choose colors?
- It clusters pixels using the Median-Cut algorithm to group similar colors and calculate their average, ensuring that even secondary accent colors are represented in the final palette.
- Can I download the palette?
- Yes. You can copy individual color hex codes, copy the generated code configurations, or download the full palette as a vector SVG file.
