Frequently Asked Questions

Is this tool completely free?
Yes, this image color picker is completely free to use. There are no limits on the number of images you can process, and you don't need to create an account.
Do you save or upload my images?
No. We prioritize your privacy. All image processing happens locally in your browser using JavaScript and the HTML5 Canvas API. Your photos are never uploaded to our servers or stored in any database.
How does the 'Dominant Palette' work?
We use an advanced algorithm called Color Quantization (specifically K-Means Clustering via the Color Thief library). This scans thousands of pixels in your image, groups similar shades together, and identifies the 6 most visually significant colors that represent the essence of the photo.
Can I use this on my phone?
Absolutely. The interface is fully responsive. You can tap the 'Upload' area to select a photo directly from your camera roll (iOS or Android) and extract color codes on the go.
What formats do you support?
We support JPG, PNG, and WEBP files. Our tool is also smart enough to handle transparent PNGs by ignoring the transparent pixels during the color analysis process.
Why do colors look different in print (CMYK)?
Screens emit light (RGB - Additive), while printers use ink (CMYK - Subtractive). Vibrant neon colors visible on a screen simply cannot be created with physical ink. Our tool provides a mathematical CMYK approximation to give you a starting point for print design.
How do I create a brand palette from a logo?
Simply upload your logo file. The 'Dominant Palette' will instantly give you the hex codes for your brand colors. You can then use the Zoom Loupe to pick up any subtle accent colors or gradients used in the design.
What is the 'Brand Card' export?
Designers often need to share palettes. Our 'Download Brand Card' feature generates a professional, Polaroid-style image combining your original photo with the extracted color strip and hex codes, perfect for sharing on social media or with clients.
