Our tool uses advanced color analysis to identify the dominant colors in your image using perceptual color distance calculations, then arranges them alongside your image in various artistic layouts. This creates beautiful visual references perfect for design projects, mood boards, or artistic inspiration.

Frequently Asked Questions

What image formats are supported?

The tool supports all common image formats including JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, and more. Simply upload any image file and the tool will process it.

How does the color extraction work?

The tool analyzes every pixel in your image, groups similar colors using perceptual distance calculations, and selects the most dominant colors to create a meaningful palette.

Can I edit the extracted colors?

Yes! Enable 'Custom Palette Mode' to manually edit any color in the palette, add new colors, or remove colors you don't want.

What's the difference between crop modes?

Fit shows the entire image (may have empty space), Fill crops the image to fill the space completely, and Stretch distorts the image to fit exactly.

Can I create palettes for social media?

Absolutely! The 'Social' layout and various aspect ratios (1:1 for Instagram, 9:16 for Stories) are optimized for social media platforms.

What's the output quality and size?

The tool generates high-resolution PNG files with the dimensions based on your chosen aspect ratio, typically ranging from 675px to 1200px on the largest dimension.

Is there a limit on image size?

While there's no strict limit, very large images (over 10MB) may take longer to process. The tool works best with images under 5MB for optimal performance.

Can I save my settings for future use?

Your settings (layout, style, position preferences) are remembered during your current session, but aren't permanently saved between browser sessions.
