Check the result before relying on it
Keep an untouched copy of important source files. Browser processing depends on available device memory, and you should inspect every downloaded result before deleting the original.
Practical details
What this Lucaden tool does
Pinned Color Thief 3.5.0 samples local pixels and quantizes them in perceptual OKLCH or classic RGB space. Transparent pixels are ignored and images are never uploaded.
The transformation happens in browser memory and produces a new result without changing the source on your device.
Included capabilities
- Two to twenty colors
- OKLCH or RGB quantization
- HEX and RGB values
- CSS variable export
Useful for
- Build design palettes
- Match UI accents
- Analyze product photography
- Create presentation themes
Questions
About this tool
Is this mathematically exact clustering?
It uses Color Thief's practical pixel sampling and color quantization, not a calibrated color-management measurement.
Why can nearby colors be combined?
Quantization groups sampled pixels into representative color clusters so the result stays useful and compact.
