Frequently Asked Questions

Is this color palette extractor really free?

Yes, 100% free with no limits. No account, no watermarks, no premium tier. Extract as many palettes as you like.

Is my image uploaded to a server?

No. Everything runs locally in your browser using the HTML Canvas API. Your image never leaves your device — perfect for confidential or private photos.

How does the color extraction algorithm work?

The tool uses a median-cut quantization algorithm on pixel data sampled from your image via the Canvas API. It groups similar colors and picks the most representative hue from each group.

What color formats are supported?

Each swatch shows HEX, RGB, and HSL values. You can export the full palette as CSS custom properties, JSON objects, or a plain HEX list.
