Frequently asked questions
- Is my photo stored online?
- No. The extractor reads the file in your browser only. Clearing the page removes the image from memory.
- Why do similar colours appear twice?
- Clustering may split shadows and highlights of the same object. Merge swatches manually or pick the mid-tone that best matches your intent.
- What image formats work?
- JPEG and PNG are supported in most browsers. Very large files may take longer to process; resize first if performance is slow.
