The image is processed in your browser and never uploaded.
How to use it

How extraction works
The image is shrunk, pixels are grouped by similar colour, and the most frequent groups become the palette. Choosing more colours splits groups finer. Photos with large flat areas give clean results; busy photos give averaged tones.
