About this tool

Free, no sign-up. The image is read straight from an HTML5 canvas in your browser - nothing is uploaded. It samples the pixels and groups them (median-cut quantization) to find the most dominant colors, sorted by how much of the image they cover. Part of techtuate, a growing collection of little tools that just work.
