Canva Color Palette Generator Alternative

How to get a color palette in Canva

Canva’s Colors hub groups palette tools in one place: upload a photo for an automatic palette, browse preset palette ideas, or use the color wheel.^[1]

On its color palette generator page, Canva says you upload an image and it builds a palette from the photo’s hues in seconds, with HEX-style swatches you can explore alongside other palette ideas.^[2]

Inside the Canva editor, Canva Pro’s Brand Kit page describes storing logos, brand colors, fonts, imagery, and templates together so designs and Canva AI outputs stay on brand, including sharing brand kits through project folders with teammates.^[3]

What EpicPxls offers

EpicPxls runs a free color palette extractor that pulls dominant colors and HEX codes from any PNG, JPG, or WebP image entirely in your browser. It is free, requires no upload and no signup, and the page states processing is completely private. Click a swatch to copy its HEX code.^[4]

Want colors from a live website instead of a still image? Our free Palette & Font Grabber Chrome extension (made by EpicPxls) reads computed CSS on the page you are viewing, ranks colors by how often they appear, lists fonts in use, and can export CSS variables, Tailwind snippets, or JSON tokens.^[5] Browse free downloads or other free design tools on EpicPxls, or compare our Canva mockup generator alternative

Which one to use

• Choose Canva when you want palette tools tied to Canva designs—photo upload inside Canva’s color tools, preset palette libraries, Brand Kit colors applied across templates, or sharing brand assets with a team in Canva.
• Choose EpicPxls when you already have an image file and only need HEX codes quickly without opening Canva—processing stays in your browser with no upload.
• Choose our Palette & Font Grabber extension when you want the color palette (and fonts) from the website you are browsing, not from a saved image file.^[5]

How to pull a palette from an image on EpicPxls

1. Open the free color palette extractor.
2. Choose a PNG, JPG, or WebP image from your device, or drag and drop it onto the upload area.
3. Wait for the swatches to appear, then click any color to copy its HEX code.
