Privacy: runs in your browser

This tool processes your input in this browser. Inputs and results are excluded from analytics. Recent tools save tool names, visit counts and last-visit times. Favorites store only tool names. Draft saving is optional and stays on this device; delete saved text with the draft controls. Loading text from a URL is optional and contacts that server; its URL and your IP address are visible to the server. When a button sends your result to another tool, it waits in this tab until that tool opens it, for up to a minute, and is then deleted.

Copy link includes the inputs you choose to share in the address. Anyone with that link can reopen them. Files and generated results are excluded. Password and key tools share settings only.

Sharing and starting over

A copied link includes what you entered and your settings, so anyone with it can see them. Leave private text out. Files and results are not included; random draws are made again.

Start over puts the tool back to its starting values and closes any open file or device. Drafts you saved stay on this device until you delete them.

Keep one color across formats

HEX and RGB describe red, green and blue channels. HSL describes hue, saturation and lightness; HSV uses value instead of lightness. The fields show the same color, with rounding only in the displayed numbers.

Worked example

The HEX value #0B7285 is rgb(11, 114, 133). Sending it to the palette tool keeps that exact seed color.

Before you rely on the result

These are sRGB colors. Printed color depends on ink, paper and the printing process. Opacity blends with the background; the solid preview sits on white. Screen picking requires browser EyeDropper support and your explicit selection. It returns an opaque sRGB color.
