?Frequently Asked Questions
What image formats are supported?
PNG, JPG/JPEG, GIF, and WebP. For best results, use images with clear, distinct colors. Very large images will be automatically resized for faster processing.
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No! All processing happens in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API. Your images never leave your device, making it completely private and secure.
How does color extraction work?
The tool samples colors from your image and uses a clustering algorithm to group similar colors together, identifying the most dominant color groups. It then returns representative colors from each cluster.
Why might colors look slightly different?
The extracted colors are approximations of the most common colors in the image. Color perception can vary based on your monitor calibration, surrounding colors, and compression artifacts in the image.
