## Turn Any Photo into a Reusable Gradient

AiLoveKit's **gradient extractor** samples real pixels from your image along a line you draw. It merges similar samples into clean color stops, computes the direction as a CSS angle, and hands you a ready-to-paste **linear-gradient** declaration - perfect for recreating the background of a screenshot, a poster or a brand asset.

## Two Extraction Modes

- **Gradient mode** - drag from point A to point B; get the visual preview, stop chips, angle, copy and a downloadable .css file.

- **Single pixel mode** - click any point to capture one color in HEX, RGB, HSL and OKLCH with one-click copy.

Images can arrive by upload, paste or drag-and-drop, and every pixel is analyzed locally in your browser - nothing is ever sent to a server.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does gradient extraction work?**

Upload or paste an image, then drag from the start point to the end point. Pixels along that line are sampled, similar colors are merged into stops, and the direction is converted into a CSS linear-gradient angle.

**Can I pick a single pixel color instead?**

Yes - switch to Single pixel mode and click anywhere on the image to get the color in HEX, RGB, HSL and OKLCH formats.

**Do my images leave my device?**

No. Images are drawn on a local canvas and sampled entirely inside your browser - nothing is uploaded anywhere.
