What Is This Color Palette Extractor?

This free, browser-based color palette extractor finds the dominant colors in an image. Choose how many colors to keep, ignore near-black/near-white if needed, and export the palette as JSON or GPL (GIMP/Krita). You can also copy ready-to-use CSS variables. Processing is fully local — your image never leaves your device.
