Where each one shines

What ColorZilla does well

  • A mature, free eyedropper and colour picker.
  • A gradient generator for building multi-stop CSS gradients.
  • A webpage colour analyser.

Choose ColorZilla if you want a free eyedropper and a gradient builder, and nothing else.

Where Xtractly is different

  • Ranks every colour on the page by usage and suggests primary, accent and surface roles.
  • Copies Tailwind background and text classes alongside HEX, RGB and HSL.
  • Exports the whole palette as CSS variables or a Tailwind config.
  • Also extracts fonts, assets and whole components as code.

Choose Xtractly if you want a site's colours as design tokens for your own Tailwind or CSS setup.

Frequently asked questions

Does Xtractly have an eyedropper like ColorZilla?

Yes. It samples any pixel on screen, including colours inside images and gradients.

Does Xtractly generate gradients?

No — it reads gradient colour stops from the page but doesn't have a gradient builder. ColorZilla is better for that.
