Frequently Asked Questions

How does palette extraction work?

The tool uses the median cut algorithm to find the most representative colors in your image. It groups similar colors together and picks the average of each group.

What export formats are supported?

You can copy hex codes to clipboard, download as GIMP Palette (.gpl) for use in GIMP/Aseprite, or as JSON for programmatic use.

Why are there fewer colors than I specified?

If your image has fewer unique colors than requested, you'll get all the unique colors present. This is common with pixel art.
