Frequently asked questions
How accurate are the colors?
They are the pixel values your browser shows, in sRGB. Large images are displayed at a reduced size, so a single pixel may represent several original pixels.
How is the palette calculated?
By grouping similar colors from a sample of the image and averaging each group. Transparent pixels are ignored.
Can I pick colors from a screenshot?
Yes. Paste or drop the screenshot file and click on it.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. Files are decoded, processed and re-encoded by your browser using the canvas API and Web Workers. Nothing is sent to any server, and there is no account or storage. Closing the tab discards everything.
