Extract the dominant colours from an image as hex codes.
Processed locally — your image is never uploaded.
How do you extract a color palette from an image?
Upload an image and it is scaled down, then its pixels are grouped into colour buckets; the most frequent buckets become the palette as hex codes. Colours are quantised slightly so similar shades group together, giving a clean palette rather than hundreds of near-identical colours. A beach photo might return sandy beige, sea blue and sky tones. Nothing is uploaded.
