Privacy

Your images never leave your browser. ColorSmith runs entirely on your own machine. The color counting and the color reduction both happen on your device, not on a server.

What this page does

Reads the image you choose and processes it in your browser. Counting colors and reducing them run locally, in your device's own memory, using WebAssembly. If you drop a HueForge project (.hfp), the page reads it the same way, locally, and uses only the image embedded inside it.
Loads its own files from colorsmith.app. The page, its styles and scripts, the example images, and the processing engine.
Remembers three small preferences on your device. Whether you last used Wipe or Side-by-side, whether you dismissed the “leave this page?” warning, and, if you have used the theme button in the header, whether you chose the light or dark appearance. Until you press that button nothing is stored for it: the page just follows your device's own light/dark setting. Clearing this site's data in your browser removes them.
Counts anonymous page views, through Cloudflare Web Analytics. Cloudflare hosts this site, and states that this analytics product uses no cookies and does not fingerprint visitors. As with any web host, Cloudflare also handles the connection itself, including your IP address, in order to deliver the page to you.

What this page does not do

Does not upload your image or your project file. Not to us, not to anyone. There is no server that receives it.
Does not keep your image. Reload or close the tab and it is gone.
Does not set cookies.
Does not use ad networks, trackers, or social widgets, and, apart from the Cloudflare analytics beacon described above, loads nothing from any other domain. No third-party fonts, scripts, or images.
Does not ask for your name, your email, or an account. There is nothing to sign up for here.
Does not offer your result as a download. This page is a demo. The result stays on screen. The one exception is the share card: if you choose to, the page draws a small comparison card (1200 by 630 pixels) in your browser, and you decide where it goes: your clipboard, a file, or an app you pick in your device's share sheet. Nothing is sent anywhere unless you choose to share it.
