How to extract colors from an image

Drop in a photo, logo or screenshot and get a palette. The image never leaves your device.

4 steps · about 2 min

Open the image color picker
  1. Add an image

    Drop a JPG, PNG or WebP (up to 25 MB) onto the box, or click it to choose a file. Other file types and damaged files are refused with a message that says why.

  2. Read the palette

    Tintly samples the image and lists the main colors, most common first. Use Colors to extract to ask for 3 up to 8 colors; the palette updates without reloading the image.

  3. Pick an exact pixel

    Click anywhere on the picture to copy the exact color under the pointer. A transparent spot is reported instead of guessed.

  4. Use the palette

    Open in generator carries the extracted colors across, and Save adds them to your library.
