Color Palette Extractor FAQs
Is my image uploaded to a server?+
No. All processing happens entirely in your browser using the Canvas API. Your image never leaves your device and no data is sent to any server.
What image formats are supported?+
The tool supports PNG, JPG/JPEG, and WebP image formats. Simply drag and drop or click to upload any of these file types.
How does the color extraction work?+
The tool uses k-means clustering on the RGB pixel values of your image. It groups similar colors together and returns the 6 most dominant clusters, sorted by how many pixels belong to each group.
Why are white and black not shown in results?+
Near-white and near-black pixels are filtered out before clustering because they tend to dominate palettes (from backgrounds, shadows, etc.) without being part of the image's actual color story.
Can I switch between HEX, RGB, and HSL?+
Yes! Use the format toggle above the swatches to switch between HEX (e.g. #3a7bd5), RGB (e.g. rgb(58, 123, 213)), and HSL (e.g. hsl(215, 67%, 53%)) formats.
How do I copy a color value?+
Click any color swatch or its label to copy the HEX code to your clipboard. You'll see a brief "Copied!" confirmation that resets after 2 seconds.
