Usage Tips

Save & Share: Long press on a captured image to open your device's native share menu or to save the image. The saved image includes a strip of the active color palette.

Custom Palettes: Use the Upload button to load a legacy palette. A valid palette is a 32xM pixel image where each 32x32 square is a solid color. The app will automatically extract the colors and save the palette for future use (just one palette). Use the Palette button to create new palettes from any image.

The full list with links of built-in palettes from Lospec can be found in the app's repository.

Troubleshooting

Camera not working in PWA? iOS requires camera permission to be granted in Safari before the PWA can access it.

Solution: Open this site in Safari (not the PWA), grant camera permission, then return to the PWA. Or go to iOS Settings → Safari → Camera → Allow.

This app works best when installed as a Progressive Web App (PWA). Use your browser's "Add to Home Screen" option for the best experience.
