Image Color Extractor LOCAL ONLY

Extract a practical CSS-ready palette from a local image, screenshot, or pasted picture without uploading the image.

Pixels are sampled and reduced in this browser only. The image is never posted to KivTools or an image service.
Image source

Drop an image here, paste one, or choose a local file

Palette options

Transparent pixels are ignored. Large images are downsampled before analysis so the browser remains responsive; swatches represent dominant color regions, not exact pixels.

Use the palette

Click any swatch to copy its hex value. Pair foreground and background choices with the Accessibility Auditor to check WCAG contrast.

Extracted palette

Choose an image to extract a local color palette.

Find usable colors without sending a design asset away

The extractor samples a reduced canvas in the browser and keeps the original file on your device. For accessible UI work, validate each final text/background pair separately instead of relying on a palette alone.
