Frequently asked questions

How do I get a colour palette from an image?

Drop the image in — the tool analyses it automatically and shows the dominant colours as swatches. Click any swatch to copy its HEX code.

Can I use the palette in CSS?

Yes — "Copy as CSS variables" outputs a ready-to-paste :root block with each colour as a custom property like --color-1, --color-2, and so on.

How is this different from the Color Picker?

The Palette Generator finds the image's dominant colours automatically across the whole picture. The Color Picker lets you click a specific pixel for its exact colour. Use both: palette for the theme, picker for precision.

Is the image uploaded anywhere?

No. The palette is computed by analysing the image on a local canvas in your browser — the file stays on your device.

Is Color Palette Generator free to use?

Yes. Color Palette Generator is completely free on GenRise, with no limits, watermarks, or hidden paywalls.

Do I need to create an account or sign up?

No. Every GenRise tool works instantly in your browser — no account, email, or sign-up required.

Is my file uploaded to a server?

No. Color Palette Generator runs entirely on-device using your browser, so your files are never uploaded or stored anywhere. All processing happens locally.

How does Color Palette Generator work?

Color Palette Generator uses your browser's built-in capabilities — Canvas, WebAssembly, and File APIs — to process files locally. Extract a color palette from any image. Simply open the tool, select your file, and the result is generated instantly on your device.

Is Color Palette Generator safe and private?

Yes. Since Color Palette Generator processes everything in your browser, your files never leave your device. There is no server-side storage, no tracking of file contents, and no data collection.

Can I use Color Palette Generator on mobile?

Yes. Color Palette Generator works on any modern browser, including mobile devices. It is fully responsive and optimized for both desktop and mobile use.
