Why use Aback Images for colour picker
Processed on your device
Your images are decoded, edited and encoded inside this browser tab by Web Workers. Nothing is uploaded to a server.
Instant results
Everything runs locally in a background thread, so there is no upload queue and no waiting on a server.
Precise control
Fine-grained controls with a live preview of the final result.
Every format
Works with JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, HEIC, GIF, TIFF, SVG, RAW and more, identified by content rather than file name.

Frequently asked questions
Are my images uploaded anywhere?
No. Processing happens inside your browser with WebAssembly and Web Workers. The site only downloads the app code and codecs; your files never leave your device. You can confirm this with the live upload counter on the tool, or in your browser's network panel.
Is it free? Is there a file limit or watermark?
It is free with no account, no watermark and no daily limit. The only limit is your device's memory: very large images (over roughly 100 megapixels) may be refused to keep the tab from crashing.
