What is the Dominant Color Extractor?

The Dominant Color Extractor automatically identifies the most representative colors in an image and displays them as a palette. By quantizing each pixel’s color and counting frequency, it can quickly generate a color palette from a photo or illustration.

All processing happens entirely in your browser using the Canvas API — your image data is never sent to a server.
