About Limited Color Palette

Extract a limited representative color set from any image using color quantization. Reduce to 4, 8, or 16 colors for screen printing, pixel art, and constrained design. The quantization algorithm runs directly in your browser — set a target color count and get the reduced palette back in seconds.

Suited for projects with a hard color-count limit — screen printing, risograph, or pixel art — so you can preview the reduction before printing reveals unexpected color loss.

Common questions

How do I reduce an image to a few colors? Upload an image and set a target color count; the tool quantizes the pixels to that many representative colors for print or pixel-art use.

What is color quantization? The process of mapping an image's many colors down to a small fixed set, choosing the colors that best preserve the original's appearance.

When do I need a limited palette? Screen printing, risograph, pixel art, sticker and label printing — anywhere a limited number of inks or colors is a hard constraint.
