Limits and behavior

Quantizes RGB to 4 bits per channel, then reports the weighted mean of the largest bin. This is a histogram estimate, not semantic color analysis. Still PNG, JPEG and WebP only; 20 MB, 4 megapixels and 4,096 pixels per side. Processing stays on your device. Exports apply orientation and discard source metadata. PNG output preserves transparency unless the selected operation composites it.

Does one dominant color represent every important object?

No. Large backgrounds may dominate the sample even when subjects are more visually noticeable.
