FAQ
Are images uploaded to a server?
No. Color extraction uses Canvas API pixel sampling in your browser. Images are not transmitted to any server.
What image formats are supported?
JPEG, PNG, WebP, and GIF formats are supported. Maximum file size is 10MB.
Can I change the number of extracted colors?
Yes. You can freely adjust between 3 and 12 colors using the slider.
How do I use the extracted colors in my Tailwind project?
Click 'Tailwind Config' to copy the color object, then paste it into the 'colors' or 'extend.colors' section of your tailwind.config.js file. The extracted colors will be available as utility classes like 'bg-palette-1' or 'text-palette-2'.
What code formats can I export?
CSS variables (:root), Tailwind CSS color config, and SCSS map — three formats are supported.
