FAQs
Where is my image processed?
Your image is read and analyzed entirely in your browser using the Canvas API, so it is never uploaded anywhere.
How are colors extracted from an image?
The image is scaled down, its colors are grouped by similar tones, and the most common colors are shown as your palette.
What makes a random palette harmonious?
Random palettes share a common base hue with fixed color offsets, so every color in the set works well together.
Can I save a palette for later use?
Yes. Download the palette as a text file of HEX values, or copy each color individually to the clipboard.
