Frequently Asked Questions
How does the color extraction algorithm work?
The tool uses k-means clustering to group similar colors in your image. It analyzes all pixels and identifies the most common color groups, giving you the dominant colors that best represent your image's color palette.
What image formats are supported?
The tool supports all common web image formats including JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, and SVG. Simply drag and drop your image or click to upload from your device.
How many colors can I extract from an image?
You can extract between 5 to 25 dominant colors from any image. More colors give you a detailed palette, while fewer colors focus on the most prominent hues in your image.
Can I pick specific pixel colors from the image?
Yes! Click anywhere on the uploaded image to get the exact color of that pixel. The tool will show you the RGB, HEX, and HSL values of the selected pixel for precise color matching.
How can I use the extracted colors in my design projects?
Each extracted color shows RGB, HEX, and HSL values with copy buttons. You can copy these values directly into your design software, CSS files, or color palette tools. The tool also shows color frequency percentages.
What's the difference between dominant colors and pixel picking?
Dominant colors show the most common color groups in the entire image using clustering analysis. Pixel picking gives you the exact color of a specific point you click on the image. Use both for comprehensive color analysis.
