How to use Colour palette from image

  1. Choose one still JPG, PNG or WebP image. Transparent pixels are left out of the palette.
  2. Select three to eight colours. Review the swatches and copy a HEX value to use in your design.
  3. Download a palette image or a CSS colour file, then check the text and background colours with the contrast checker.

How are the colours chosen?

The tool samples a reduced version of your image and groups similar opaque colours. Swatches represent colour clusters rather than every exact pixel. Tiny details may not appear in the palette.

Can I use a transparent logo?

Yes. Fully transparent pixels are ignored. An image with no visible pixels cannot produce a palette. The tool recommends black or white lettering for each swatch based on its contrast.

Can I edit the colours?

Copy a HEX value into the editor or the contrast checker. Downloaded CSS contains named custom properties for use in your own website. The original image remains unchanged.

Are my files uploaded?

No. Conversion takes place in your browser. Pixplet does not receive the files you choose. Results use temporary storage in your browser, not your account. Download them before leaving this page; clearing the result set removes its temporary files.

Use the result as a starting point and check it in your final design. The original file remains unchanged.
