Frequently asked questions

How does the extraction work?
The tool downsamples the image to 200x200 then runs the median cut quantization algorithm to find dominant color clusters. It returns the average color of each cluster, sorted by pixel count.
How many colors should I extract?
5-8 is the sweet spot for most palettes. Use 2-3 for minimalist branding, 12+ for detailed photography palettes.
What image formats are supported?
Anything your browser can decode: JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, AVIF, SVG. Transparent pixels are skipped to avoid contaminating the palette.
Is my image uploaded?
No. The image is processed entirely in your browser using <canvas>. Nothing is sent to a server.
Why are some colors slightly different from what I see?
The algorithm averages clusters of similar pixels into one representative color. Sharp accent colors that occupy few pixels can get merged with neighbors.
