How Swatchery Works

Swatchery turns any image into a usable color palette in three steps — entirely in your browser, with nothing uploaded to a server.

  1. Upload an image. Drag and drop or select a JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, or BMP file. Everything is processed locally and EXIF metadata is stripped automatically.
  2. Extract colors. Swatchery analyzes the image and pulls out the most prominent, visually distinct colors — anywhere from 2 to 30 swatches, with control over count, quality, and diversity.
  3. Export anywhere. Download your palette in the format your tools expect, from Photoshop swatches to CSS variables.

Export to 15+ Creative Formats

Take your palette straight into the software you already use. Swatchery exports to professional and web formats alike:

  • Adobe Photoshop — .aco swatches
  • Adobe Swatch Exchange — .ase
  • Procreate — .swatches
  • GIMP — .gpl palettes
  • Clip Studio Paint — .cls color sets
  • Affinity Designer & CorelDRAW
  • CSS variables & Tailwind config
  • SVG, JSON, and PNG swatches

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Swatchery processes every image locally in your browser, so your files never leave your device. EXIF metadata is stripped before processing for added privacy.

How many colors can I extract from an image?

Between 2 and 30. The algorithm identifies the most prominent and visually distinct colors, and you can adjust the count to suit your project.

What image formats are supported?

JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, and BMP. Drag and drop a file or click to upload from your device.

Is Swatchery free to use?

Yes. Swatchery is free, with no watermarks or usage limits — every feature is available to everyone.
