How to use Extract a Color from a WebP

  1. 1. Load the WebP to filter. Drop or browse for the WebP image you want to isolate a single color from. The tool scans every pixel against the color you choose next.
  2. 2. Pick the color and tolerance. Choose Color to keep and set Tolerance (%) for how much a pixel's shade can differ and still count as a match. A tight tolerance keeps only near-exact matches, a loose one keeps a broader range.
  3. 3. Download the isolated result. Download the image once ready, with matching pixels kept as they were and every other pixel made transparent.

When to use Extract a Color from a WebP

Extract a Color from a WebP keeps only the pixels close to a chosen color and clears everything else, isolating a single hue from the rest of the picture. It suits highlighting or extracting one element by color alone.

  • Highlighting a specific colored object in a scene. A photo shows several objects of different colors, and extracting just the red ones isolates that object against a transparent background for a focused crop or overlay.
  • Isolating a brand color from a scanned graphic. A scanned logo mixes a brand color with background noise, and extracting just that specific hue produces a cleaner isolated version of the brand mark alone.
  • Analyzing where one color appears in an image. A designer wants to see exactly where a particular shade of blue occurs across a busy composition, and extracting that color makes its distribution visually obvious.

Examples

Isolate the reds

Input

photo.webp + #ff0000 within 15%

Output

photo.webp with only the red pixels kept, rest transparent
