Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about image color extraction and privacy.

Are my images uploaded to any server?

No. Your image is loaded through the browser's File API and drawn directly to a client-side Canvas element. Color data is read via getImageData without ever making a network request.

How accurate is the color picker? Why does it differ slightly from design apps?

The tool extracts the exact rendered pixel values from the canvas, identical to what is displayed on your monitor. Minor variances with software like Photoshop or Illustrator usually result from different color space profiles (e.g., sRGB vs. Display P3/Adobe RGB).

How are the color harmony recommendations calculated?

Harmonies are calculated using standard HSL color wheel angles: complementary (+180°), analogous (±30°), triadic (±120°), and split-complementary (+150°/+210°). These provide balanced foundations for design mockups and UI palettes.

Does it support animated GIFs?

Currently, animated GIFs are rendered by sampling their first frame. To sample subsequent frames, export the specific frame as a standalone image before uploading.

Is my color picking history saved?

Yes, your recent colors are saved in your browser's localStorage. They remain accessible when you refresh or revisit the page, and you can clear them at any time using the "Clear" button.
