Frequently Asked Questions

How does dominant color extraction work?

The engine renders your image to an offscreen buffer, quantizes pixel values into chromatic bins, filters out transparent pixels, and sorts the clusters by statistical frequency.

Can I export the palette to Figma or Photoshop?

Yes, you can copy the list of HEX codes or download the SVG swatch card and drag it directly into Figma, Sketch, Illustrator, or Photoshop.
