Questions

How are the colors chosen?

The image is sampled and similar colors are grouped with k-means clustering in the OKLab color space, where distances match how different colors look to people. Each color is the average of its group, and the list is sorted by how much of the image it covers.

Why do I get slightly different colors than I expected?

Each swatch is an average, so a small bright detail can blend into a larger area around it. Ask for more colors to separate finer shades, or use the image color picker to take an exact pixel.

Are transparent areas counted?

No. Mostly transparent pixels are ignored, so logos and cut-outs give the colors of the artwork, not the background.

Will the same image always give the same palette?

Yes. The clustering starts from a fixed seed, so results are repeatable.

Are my images uploaded anywhere?

No. Your images are opened and processed on your device, and the results are saved straight back to it. Nothing is uploaded. How to check.

Is it free? Do I need an account?

It is free to use and there is nothing to sign up for. There are no watermarks and no daily limits.
