How is the dominant color determined?

The tool samples pixels across the image, clusters them by hue, and returns the cluster with the highest pixel count. Neutral grays can be optionally excluded.

Does it always pick the most visually important color?

The most common color by pixel count may not always be the most visually striking. Use the palette extractor if you want the full range of important colors.

Can I exclude white and near-white backgrounds?

Yes. A filter option lets you exclude near-white and near-black pixels so the result reflects the actual subject color.

What file size limit applies?

Images up to 10 MB are supported. Larger images are downsampled before analysis to maintain speed.
