The problem
Extracting and exporting usable color palettes from any image, without installing heavyweight design tools.
PaletteSnap
A tool that extracts dominant color palettes from uploaded images. Supports HEX, RGB, and HSL, with automatic color-name translation to Spanish.
All processing happens in the browser via the Canvas API — no image is ever uploaded to a server. The final palette can be exported as ready-to-use CSS or a clean PNG image. It started as a personal need — pulling a usable palette out of a screenshot or photo without opening a full design suite — and turned into a small open-source tool that other developers now reuse.
