## From Photograph to Design System in Seconds

AiLoveKit's **image palette extractor** clusters the pixels of your photo into representative colors and presents them as a ready-to-use palette. Hover any swatch for its full HEX, RGB, HSL and OKLCH breakdown, or click to copy the hex instantly.

## Four Extraction Modes

- **Dominant** - the colors that occupy the most area of the image.

- **Balanced** - a frequency-weighted spread across the whole photo.

- **Vibrant** - favors saturated, high-energy colors.

- **Muted** - favors soft, low-saturation tones.

Export the result as CSS custom properties, JSON, CSV, TXT or a PNG palette strip - everything computed locally, with your photos never leaving the browser.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How are the colors extracted?**

The image is downsampled locally and its pixels are clustered into representative colors. Choose dominant, balanced, vibrant or muted mode and a palette size from 3 to 12 - similar colors are automatically kept distinct.

**Which export formats are available?**

Copy all HEX values, CSS custom properties, downloadable JSON, CSV, TXT and a PNG palette strip image - every color also includes RGB, HSL and OKLCH values.

**Are my photos uploaded anywhere?**

No. Extraction happens entirely inside your browser using a local canvas - the image never leaves your device.
