Frequently Asked Questions

What image formats are supported?

Most web image formats including JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP, and BMP are supported. You can upload any image displayable in browsers. While there's no file size limit, very large images may take longer to process. We recommend images under 5MB for optimal performance.

How many colors are extracted?

Depending on image complexity, 6-10 dominant colors are extracted. The algorithm samples all pixels and sorts colors by frequency. Simple images yield fewer colors, while complex photos may produce more.

How do I copy color codes?

Click any extracted color card to automatically copy its HEX code to clipboard. A notification appears at the top confirming the copy. Paste the code anywhere using Ctrl+V (Windows) or Cmd+V (Mac). Manually copy RGB values if needed.

Are images stored on the server?

No, all processing happens client-side in your browser. Uploaded images are never sent to servers. Colors are extracted locally using the Canvas API, so you can safely use personal or confidential images.

How does the extraction algorithm work?

Images are drawn on Canvas, then pixel data is sampled to extract RGB values. Colors are quantized to group similar shades, then sorted by frequency to generate the palette. This approach is similar to K-means clustering but optimized for faster processing.

How can I use colors in design tools?

Most design tools like Figma, Adobe XD, Sketch, and Photoshop support HEX code input. Click a color card to copy the HEX code, then paste it into your design tool's color picker. For CSS work, use directly in background-color or color properties.

Why are some colors missing?

The algorithm extracts only the most frequently used colors from the entire image. Colors appearing in small areas or with low frequency may not be included in the palette. To extract specific colors, crop the image to show more of that color and re-upload.

Notice

Extracted colors represent the dominant colors in the image and may not include all colors. Colors may appear slightly different depending on your display settings. Uploaded images are processed only in your browser and never sent to servers, ensuring privacy and security.
