How many colors should I extract?

For photos, 6–10 is a good range. Start smaller for cleaner palettes, then increase if needed.

Why are results sometimes slightly different?

Photos contain gradients and noise, and we sample pixels for speed. The palette is designed to be practical rather than perfectly exact.

FAQ

Is my image uploaded to the server?

No. The extraction runs in your browser via JavaScript. The file is not sent to our server by this tool.

How accurate is the palette?

It’s a pragmatic palette (k-means clustering on pixels). For gradients/noisy photos, results are approximate but usually very useful.

Can I use this for logos?

Yes. Logos with flat colors work extremely well. Use a smaller palette size (3–6) for clean results.
