About ColorSnap
ColorSnap is a free tool designed for developers and designers who need to quickly extract color palettes from images.
Why We Built ColorSnap
As developers, we often find ourselves needing to extract colors from screenshots, UI mockups, or design references. The process of manually picking colors and finding their Tailwind CSS equivalents was time-consuming and frustrating. ColorSnap solves this problem by automating the entire workflow.
Who It Helps
- Web Developers: Quickly extract colors and get Tailwind CSS class names for rapid prototyping
- UI/UX Designers: Analyze color schemes from existing designs or inspiration images
- Digital Artists: Understand color palettes from reference images
- Students: Learn about color theory and palette extraction
How It Works
ColorSnap uses advanced color analysis algorithms to:
- Extract the 5 most dominant colors from your uploaded image
- Match each color to the closest Tailwind CSS color using LAB color space calculations
- Present clean, copyable hex codes and Tailwind class names
Our Commitment
ColorSnap is completely free to use. We don't store your images, require signups, or collect personal data. Our goal is to provide a simple, fast, and reliable tool that makes developers' and designers' lives easier.
