Free Image Color Palette Generator

It’s a tool that reads the pixels in an image and returns a set of its main colors. This one samples your picture in the browser, groups similar shades and shows the 2–12 most common colors as swatches with copyable HEX codes.

1. Click Choose files and pick your image. 2. Set Number of colors to the swatch count you want. 3. Check the swatches in the live result. 4. Click the copy button beside a swatch to copy its HEX code.

They’re close, not pixel-exact. Each swatch stands for a group of similar shades rounded to a nearby value, so a dark teal may appear as #204040. For a precise brand color, confirm it with an eyedropper in your design tool.

Edges, shadows and gradients create in-between shades that can cover enough pixels to rank. Lower the number of colors to keep only the strongest groups, or crop away busy areas first.

No, this tool has no eyedropper. It ranks colors automatically across the whole image. To focus on one region, crop the image first and run the palette on that crop.

Yes. There’s no signup, no limit on palettes and no watermark. Copy as many HEX codes as you need for your brand kit or your next post.

No. The image is sampled on a canvas inside your browser and the colors are calculated on your device. Nothing is sent to SocQ for analysis.

JPG, PNG, WebP and AVIF files up to 30 MB and 40 megapixels each. Because sampling happens on a 100 × 100 copy, the color analysis itself stays light even for large photos.

There’s no palette file export such as ASE or CSS, so copy the HEX codes from the swatches instead. The Download button saves a copy of the result image (JPG stays JPG, other formats save as PNG), not a swatch sheet.

Many brands work with a few core colors plus one or two accents. Extract 5 or 6 colors, keep the ones that suit your style, and test text and background pairs for contrast before publishing.
