FAQ

How does the color removal tool work?

The tool uses color distance calculation (Euclidean distance in RGB color space) to identify pixels similar to the selected color. You can adjust the threshold slider (1-150) to control how similar colors should be removed. Lower values remove only exact matches, while higher values remove a wider range of similar shades. All processing happens in your browser using HTML5 Canvas API - your images never leave your device.

Is my image uploaded to a server?

No, all image processing happens entirely in your browser using HTML5 Canvas API. Your images are never uploaded to any server, ensuring complete privacy and security.

What image formats are supported?

The tool supports common image formats including PNG, JPG, JPEG, GIF, and WebP. The output is saved as PNG format to preserve transparency.

What is the threshold setting and how do I use it?

The threshold controls how similar colors should be removed. A lower threshold (1-30) removes only very similar colors. A medium threshold (30-70) removes similar shades. A higher threshold (70-150) removes a wider range of similar color shades. Start low and increase if needed.

What does smooth edges do?

Smooth edges creates a gradual transition between removed and kept areas by adjusting transparency based on color distance, producing softer, more natural-looking edges.

Is this tool free to use?

Yes, this tool is completely free to use with no limitations, watermarks, or hidden fees.

How do I select a color to remove?

Click directly on the uploaded image to pick a color, or use the color picker / enter a hex color code.

Can I remove multiple colors at once?
