FAQs
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. Color analysis runs entirely in your browser, so your images are never uploaded or stored anywhere.
How are the dominant colors found?
The tool downsamples your image, groups similar pixel colors together and counts how often each one appears to rank the palette.
Which browsers are supported?
Any modern browser that supports the Canvas API, including Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari, works with this tool.
Is the tool free to use?
Yes. Every Handio tool is free, with no sign-up, no limits and no watermarks.

Why use Image Color Extractor?

- Extract HEX codes from an inspiration photo to theme a web design around its look.

Tips and Limits
The palette favors the largest uniform areas, so a small detail color you want may not show up — request 20 colors instead of 5 when hunting for a subtle shade. Colors are grouped from downsampled pixels, so two very similar tones may collapse into one swatch.
