Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Image Color Extraction

How do I extract colors from an image?
Upload your image (JPG, PNG, GIF, or WebP) to the theme extractor tool. Our AI automatically analyzes the image and extracts the 8 most prominent colors. You can then generate complete Tailwind CSS color palettes from each extracted color, with all 11 shades (50-950).
What image formats are supported for color extraction?
HueStack supports all common image formats including JPG, PNG, GIF, and WebP. Higher quality images generally produce better color extraction results. Large images are automatically optimized for faster processing while maintaining color accuracy.
Can I use extracted colors in my design system?
Yes! The image theme extractor generates production-ready color palettes in multiple formats including HEX, RGB, HSL, Tailwind CSS, and CSS variables. You can export directly to your tailwind.config.js or use CSS custom properties in your design system.
How accurate is the color extraction?
Our color extraction uses advanced algorithms to identify the most visually prominent and complementary colors in your image. The tool analyzes color frequency, distribution, and visual weight to ensure you get colors that truly represent your image's theme.
Can I extract brand colors from a logo?
Absolutely! Upload your company logo to extract exact brand colors. The tool identifies primary and secondary brand colors, then generates matching color palettes that maintain brand consistency across your entire design system or website.
What's the difference between manual and automatic color extraction?
Automatic extraction analyzes the entire image to find prominent colors. Manual mode lets you click specific points in the image to extract exact colors from those locations, giving you precise control over which colors to extract for your palette.
