Which file types does Extract Image Color Palette accept?

The drop area takes JPG, JPEG, PNG and 9 more. Files are read from your device in the browser, so the format has to be one a browser can decode — that is why the accepted list on this page is finite and honest rather than "everything".

Does Extract Image Color Palette produce a file?

No. It reads what you gave it and answers on the page. That is deliberate — for an inspection question, downloading a report about your own file would only move the data somewhere it does not need to be.

How big a file can I use?

Up to 100 MB per file and 50 files per batch. There is no server queue behind that limit; the practical ceiling is your browser's memory, so split unusually large documents into two runs.

Where does the processing actually happen?

In this tab. The file is read locally, converted or edited locally, and handed back as a download — no copy is sent to a server, so there is nothing for anyone to breach or keep.
