Common questions about extracting color palettes with PixKit.
PixKit reads the pixels of your image right in the browser and surfaces its most dominant colors as clean, copyable hex swatches. Designers, developers and content creators can grab a palette from a photo, mockup or screenshot in seconds — no accounts, no installs and no uploads to any server.
The tool step-samples your image (around 20,000 pixels, so even huge photos analyze instantly), groups similar colors into buckets and ranks them by how often they appear. It averages each top bucket to a representative color and filters out near-duplicates, so the palette you get is distinct and faithful to the original. Near-transparent pixels are skipped so a PNG's empty background never pollutes the result.
Choose between 2 and 8 colors with the slider and hit Extract. You get a full-width palette bar plus a row for every color showing its swatch and uppercase hex value — press the Copy button beside any of them and it lands on your clipboard, ready for CSS, a design file, or your brand guidelines.
Palette extraction never touches your image. It only analyzes the canvas pixels — no recompression, no resizing, no overwriting — so you can pull colors mid-edit without affecting anything else you're doing in the editor.
