Category: Image Preparation

A useful palette can be estimated from a bounded sample rather than enumerating every source colour.

Review the quantised suggestions and compare them with the actual picture.

## Inputs and controls

* One image: JPEG; PNG; WebP. Static images. Up to 4 MiB per file, 12 MiB total and 4 million pixels per image. One source image.
* Palette entries. Allowed range: 2 to 16

## How to use

* Choose a static JPEG, PNG or WebP source. Check the displayed upload limits before processing.

* Set Palette entries. Review the selected units and options before preparing the output.

* Select Prepare image. Inspect the resulting preview, dimensions and file size, then download the output you need.


## Why use this tool

Sampled colour groups provide a starting point for design references.


## Before relying on the result

Compare the finished picture with its source. Sampling and colour bins make the result approximate.

## Questions

### Are palette colours exact counts of the entire image?

No. Sampling and colour bins make the result approximate.

### What should I check before using Image Colour Palette?

Prepare a supported source image and check Palette entries. Use the exact units shown beside the controls and replace any example values with your own inputs.
