FAQ

Image palette questions

Is my image uploaded?

No. File decoding, pixel sampling and palette export happen locally in your browser.

Why can the palette change when I choose more colors?

The extractor balances frequency and visual separation. A larger palette can include less common shades that were previously too similar to a dominant color.

Can I use the colors in CSS?

Yes. Select CSS variables in the export menu to produce named custom properties ready to paste into a stylesheet.
