I made ColorSnap to solve a small but annoying problem I kept running into as a developer — picking colors.
Whether you’re screenshotting Dribbble shots, UI mockups, or websites, ColorSnap helps you instantly grab clean color palettes from any image — no eyedropper tools, no guesswork.
It’s built for devs and designers who just want to get a usable palette fast — and move on.
I’ve just added Tailwind export, faster image handling, and a smoother UI. Would love feedback on how to make this more useful for real-world dev work.

I built this because I got tired of the same loop: screenshot → open image editor → zoom → eyedropper → miss the hex → repeat.
ColorSnap is my attempt to skip all of that. Just drop a screenshot and you get a clean palette — ready to plug into Tailwind, CSS, or Figma.
Under the hood it uses a custom color reduction algorithm + contrast heuristics to avoid muddy outputs.
Still improving it, and I’d love to hear how other devs might actually use this in their workflow (or what’s missing).
Thanks for checking it out
