Question 1

How does it work?

Accepted Answer

Drop or paste an image and we run a quantization algorithm right in your browser to extract the six most representative colors. Nothing is uploaded to a server.

Question 2

Is the image uploaded anywhere?

Accepted Answer

No. The extraction happens entirely client-side via WebAssembly, so your image never leaves your device.

Question 3

What file formats are supported?

Accepted Answer

PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF (first frame), and most modern browsers also handle AVIF.

Question 4

Do you support transparent images?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Transparent regions are ignored when sampling so the palette reflects the actual visible content.

Question 5

Can I copy the colors as Tailwind / hex / RGB?

Accepted Answer

Each swatch shows hex, RGB, and HSL values. Click to copy. We also offer a "copy as Tailwind config" button for the entire palette.

Question 6

How accurate is the palette?

Accepted Answer

We use median-cut quantization plus k-means refinement, which closely matches what design tools like Adobe Color produce.

Question 7

Is there a limit on image size?

Accepted Answer

No hard limit, but very large images are downsampled to 1024px on the longest edge before extraction for speed. Quality is unaffected.

Question 8

Do you store palettes?

Accepted Answer

Only if you sign in and save them to your brand kit. Anonymous use is fully ephemeral.

Question 9

Can I get more than six colors?

Accepted Answer

The free tool returns six. Paid plans expand to twelve plus complementary, analogous, and triadic suggestions.
