How does the Website Color Extractor work?
Our tool uses Puppeteer to capture a full-page screenshot of the website you provide. Then, it analyzes the image using Color Thief to identify the dominant colors and generate a color palette. All color extraction happens in your browser, ensuring your data remains private.
What information can I extract from websites?
You can extract the dominant color of the website, a color palette of up to 10 colors, and view each color's HEX, RGB, and HSL values. You can easily copy any color format to your clipboard or download the entire palette.
Can I extract colors from any website?
Yes, you can extract colors from most public websites by entering their URL. However, some websites may block screenshot capture due to security settings or robots.txt restrictions. In these cases, you might receive an error message.
How accurate is the color extraction?
The color extraction is highly accurate as it analyzes the actual pixels from the screenshot. However, the results represent the most prominent colors in the visible area of the website, which may vary depending on content, scrolling position, and responsive layouts.
Is there a limit to how many websites I can analyze?
There are no strict limits on the number of websites you can analyze. However, we recommend spacing out requests for large websites to ensure optimal performance. Each screenshot capture and analysis takes a few seconds to complete.
What color formats are supported?
Our tool provides colors in multiple formats: HEX (e.g., #FF5733), RGB (e.g., rgb(255, 87, 51)), and HSL (e.g., hsl(14, 100%, 60%)). You can copy any format with a single click for use in your design or development projects.
Can I save or export the color palette?
Yes, you can download the color palette as a PNG image, copy individual colors in various formats, or export all colors as CSS variables, SCSS variables, or JSON data for use in your projects.
Is my data secure when using this tool?
Yes, your data is secure. While we need to process the URL on our server to capture the screenshot (due to browser security limitations), we don't store the screenshots or extracted colors. All color analysis happens directly in your browser.
Why would I need to extract colors from a website?
Extracting colors from websites is useful for designers seeking inspiration, developers trying to match a site's color scheme, competitors analyzing brand colors, accessibility testing, or creating complementary designs that align with existing color palettes.
Can I extract colors from local files or images?
This specific tool is designed for website URLs. However, we offer other tools that can extract colors from uploaded images if you need to analyze local files or specific images.
