FAQ

Colors from photos, kept in your browser — quick answers about privacy, fairness, and limits.

Using the tool

Is my image uploaded or stored?

No. The file is read in your browser with the Canvas API. It is not uploaded anywhere and is not saved to localStorage — closing or reloading the page clears the image.

What does exclude near-white / near-black do?

It skips very bright and very dark pixels so large white backgrounds or black letterboxing do not dominate the palette.

What is saved on my device?

Only preferences: number of colors, sort order, and the neutrals toggle. The image and extracted swatches are session-only.

How accurate are the colors?

They are approximate dominant clusters from a downsampled sample (max ~200×200). Use them as a starting point for design work.
