How are colours chosen?

The tool downsamples the image, clusters similar pixels, and merges near-duplicates so the palette stays distinct.

Can I export the palette?

Yes. Download a PNG strip or a JSON file with HEX, RGB, and percentages.

Yes. Everything runs locally in your browser.

Is this image tool free to use?

Yes. You can use this tool directly in your browser for free, without account creation or hidden upload limits.

Do my files leave my device?

No. Processing happens locally in your browser, so your image files stay on your device and are not uploaded to PictureConvert. Website analytics (not image contents) are described in our privacy policy.

Will the output match the preview?

Yes. The preview is scaled for display, but exports use the original image resolution and the same processing settings you chose.

What this tool does

Clusters colours from your image to build a clean palette of 3–10 swatches with HEX, RGB, and approximate coverage. Copy values, export JSON, or download a palette PNG.

Trust and privacy are built into the workflow. Nothing leaves your device during processing, and there is no account setup. That makes it suitable for personal photos, client assets, product shots, and everyday creative work.

How to use Color Palette

Upload or drag your image into the tool above.
Explore the preview and adjust analysis settings if available.
Copy colour values or download palette exports as needed.
Reuse the results in design tools, CSS, or content workflows.

Tip: sample multiple areas of an image when colours vary across lighting or gradients, then copy the values you need.

Why use this analyser?

Larger palettes surface accent colours; smaller ones stay focused
Near-duplicate colours are merged automatically
Large images are downsampled for analysis only — originals stay untouched
Copy all HEX values for quick paste into design tools

Privacy note: no files leave your device. All analyse steps run locally in your browser.

Common use cases
