Create a Vector Color Palette from Any Image
Colors are one of the fastest ways to communicate emotion and intent.
Before a user reads any text, they already feel something based the colors.
That’s why designers constantly pull palettes from photos and color inspiration images.
The problem is that most tools either randomly pick the colors or lock you into a fixed result.
With the color palette extractor, you’re in full control.
You upload an image and the tool detects the colors instantly.
Then you can move the points, add new ones, and edit the palette directly on the image.
Once it looks right, you download the palette as a real vector SVG, or even bundled together with the original image.
How the Color Palette Extractor Works 👇🏼
First, you upload an image to svg.design/extract
The tool automatically detects the main colors used in the image.
Right away, you’ll see color points placed directly on top of the image.
From there, things get much more interesting.
You can freely move those points around to sample more precise areas.
You can add new points if you want to detect and extract more colors.
And you can fine-tune the palette until it perfectly matches what you see.
Once you’re happy, you download the result or copy the exact color codes.
You can download as a clean vector SVG color palette...
or as the original image with the palette included, ready to share or reference.
What Makes This Tool Different ✅
Most color pickers give you a flat list of random swatches.
This one keeps everything visual.
You’re not guessing where a color came from.
You’re seeing it directly from the image.
That means better accuracy and more control for recoloring your design.
Even better, the output is real vector SVG palette ribbon.
So your palette stays sharp, editable and scalable and you can easily copy the color code.
Perfect for any design workflows.
Why Designers Love Extracting Colors from Images ❤️
Creating a palette from an image isn’t just convenient.
It’s practical, because you instantly match brand visuals.
You stay consistent across designs.
And you save time that would otherwise be spent guessing color codes.
Whether you’re working on a website, a logo, social media graphics, or print materials, having reliable colors makes everything easier.
Popular Use Cases for Color Palettes 👩🏼🎨
Designers use this tool in more ways than you might expect.
You can extract colors from a brand photo to build a website theme.
You can pull tones from a product image for marketing assets.
You can create palettes from illustrations, artistic photos or simple screenshots.
You can even build mood boards with consistent color systems.
And because the color palette is vector-based, it works beautifully in tools like Illustrator or Figma where you can easily recolor your vector design.
Download Your Palette, Your Way 🎨
Once your colors are ready, you’re not locked into one format.
You can download a standalone SVG palette for design tools.
Or export the image with the palette attached for presentations, clients, or inspiration boards.
Either way, your colors stay clean, accurate and reusable.
Stop Guessing Colors and Start Stealing Them (Politely) 👏
Colors do more than make designs look good.
Colors also shape how people feel, what they notice first, and how they remember your brand.
That’s why choosing the right palette matters just as much as the layout itself.
With the color palette extractor on svg.design, you’re no longer guessing colors.
And once you’ve got it right, you don’t lose it.
You can download the palette as a real vector SVG.
And you can also attach it to the original image.
In short, this tool turns inspiration into something reusable.
