Palettify

Extract colors from any image and create beautiful palettes in less than 5 seconds!

The flow is simple: upload image -> extract colors -> copy the colors RGBA codes or the generated CSS code!

Install and Launch

If you are not interested in replicating this application but you want to use it, you can head to the live demo

From source code

To install and build the application from source code, you first need to clone it:

git clone https://github.com/AstraBert/palettify
cd palettify

Then you need to build the application with the following command (Go 1.24.5+ is required for the build):

go build -tags netgo -ldflags '-s -w' -o palettify

Then you can run the application:

./palettify

Important

If you wish to change something in the frontend of the application, you need to do so by modifying the .templ files in the templates folder. Once you are done, make sure to run templ generate to update the templates (you might need to install Templ)

With npm (recommended)

You can directly install the application binary from NPM, using a simple:

npm install @cle-does-things/palettify

Note that, with this installation, you cannot customize the application itself.

Once the binary is installed, you can run it with:

palettify

With go

You can directly install the application binary from GitHub, using a simple:

docker pull ghcr.io/AstraBert/palettify:main # use the main tag to have the version updated to the latest commit to main, otherwise use a version tag (v0.1.0 e.g.)
docker run -p 8000:8000 ghcr.io/AstraBert/palettify:main

Build and Run Locally
