How to use the Image Color Extractor

- Pick how many colors to extract from the dropdown.
- Review the palette generated from the image's most common pixel colors.
- Copy any swatch's HEX value.
FAQ
- Does my image get uploaded anywhere?
- No. It's read and drawn to an in-memory canvas element by your browser's own JavaScript — hueshift has no server component to upload to.
- Why doesn't the palette match the image exactly?
- Extraction groups similar pixel colors into buckets and reports each bucket's average, which smooths out noise and gives you usable, distinct swatches rather than thousands of near-duplicate colors.
- What image formats are supported?
- Anything your browser can decode and draw to a canvas — JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF and most others.
- Is there a file size limit?
- No hard limit, but very large images are downsampled before sampling for speed — this doesn't change which colors dominate.
