What image formats are supported?
PNG, JPEG, WebP, and GIF are all supported. Any format your browser can display will work.
How does the color extraction work?
The tool uses the median cut algorithm — a well-known color quantization technique. It analyzes all pixels in the image, recursively splits them along the color channel with the widest range, and averages each group to find the most representative colors.
Can I export or share the palette?

Tips & Best Practices

  • 💡For best results, use images with clear, distinct color areas. Highly textured or noisy images may produce muddier palettes.
  • 💡Try different palette sizes — fewer colors (3-4) give you a focused scheme, while more (8-10) capture subtle variations.
  • 💡Click any swatch to see it in hex, RGB, and HSL formats with individual copy buttons.
  • 💡The exported palette image is 1200x630 — optimized for Twitter and Open Graph social sharing.
