How the Image Color Extractor Works

Upload any image in JPEG, PNG, GIF, or WEBP format and Clariss will scan its pixels and extract the most dominant colors using a k-means clustering algorithm. The result is a set of color swatches with their exact HEX codes and closest Pantone (PMS) references, ready to copy or download. You can choose between four scan depths: Quick (10 colors), Standard (16 colors), Deep (24 colors), and Extended (32 colors), depending on how much color variety your image contains. The entire process runs in your browser so your image is never uploaded to a server.

Frequently Asked Questions

The tool accepts JPEG, PNG, GIF, and WEBP files.

You can extract between 10 and 32 colors depending on the scan level you choose. Quick Scan returns 10 dominant colors, Standard returns 16, Deep returns 24, and Extended returns 32. For most photos and illustrations, Standard or Deep Scan gives the most useful palette without too much repetition.

No. All color extraction happens directly in your browser using JavaScript. Your image is never sent to or stored on any server. Once you close or refresh the page, no trace of your image remains.

Yes. The HEX codes and Pantone references generated by the tool are standard color values with no restrictions on use. You can apply them freely in branding, print, web design, and any commercial work. Just ensure that the source image you upload is one you have the rights to use.

A HEX code is a six-character value like #FF5733 used to specify colors in digital design, web development, and screen-based work. A Pantone (PMS) code is a standardized reference number used in physical print, textiles, and manufacturing to ensure color consistency across different materials and production processes. Clariss provides both so you can use your extracted colors in any context.
