How are colors picked?

Pixels are quantized to 4 bits per channel, grouped into buckets, then near-duplicate buckets are merged. The most populous remaining buckets become the palette.

Why are my colors slightly off?

Quantization reduces precision to keep processing fast. The merged result is the average of each cluster — accurate enough for design systems, not pixel-exact.

Can I copy multiple HEX values at once?

Use the CSS or JSON export buttons — they bundle the full palette into a downloadable file you can paste anywhere.

Is my image uploaded?

No. Extraction runs locally on a downscaled canvas.
