Frequently asked questions

Is my image uploaded to extract colors?

No. Pixels are sampled locally in your browser on a canvas, so your image never leaves your device.

How are the dominant colors chosen?

The image is downscaled and its pixels grouped into color buckets; the most populous buckets become the palette, averaged for an accurate HEX value.
