How to use this website

This tool helps you turn any image into a practical pixel-art palette. If you are sketching from photo references and want to avoid manually picking every color, you can use this workflow to extract, stylize, and export a ready-to-use set of colors.

Upload a PNG, JPEG, or HEIC file using the drop area or browse button.
Set your color count (1 to 64).
Choose a theme if you want a stylized look, or keep Original for neutral extraction.
Click Generate Palette to build your swatches and mapped preview.
Use the mapped preview and swatch highlight to see where each color is used in the image.
Export your palette in the format you need: HEX, ASE, PNG, Tailwind JS, or CSS variables.
