How do I extract a color palette from an image?

Upload the image, and the tool extracts dominant and accent colors in seconds. You see swatches with their color values and can copy them straight into your project.

What color formats does the tool give me?

Each swatch comes with HEX, RGB, HSL, and CMYK values. Pick the format your design tool expects and copy it directly.

Can I use a movie still or film frame?

Yes. Drop in a frame from a film and pull the palette from the scene the same way you would from any photo, so you can match the mood of a shot.

Can I change the colors after extraction?

Yes. Drag any swatch to fine-tune the shade until it fits. The palette stays together while you adjust it.

Can I save a palette for later?

Yes, save the palette and come back to it. Reuse it across future designs without extracting the same image twice.

Do I need design software to use the palette?

No. Copy the color values and use them in any tool that accepts HEX, RGB, HSL, or CMYK, from presentation decks to video editors.

Why not use Coolors or Adobe Color instead?

Those tools are great for HEX exploration. Topview keeps the palette board on the same canvas as your creatives and AI workflow so the color direction stays attached to the project.

Will the on-page preview match Canvas exactly?

The Hero uses a lightweight on-page extract for instant feedback. Opening Canvas runs the full Extract Palette pipeline and creates the official palette board node.
