Why Use Web-safe Colors?
Design History
Web-safe colors originated in the early days of the internet when many computer displays could only show 256 colors. The 216-color palette was the subset that appeared identical across different operating systems and browsers.
Modern Utility
While modern screens support millions of colors, the Web-safe palette remains popular for retro-themed designs, pixel art, and creating highly consistent brand assets that maintain their look across even the most legacy hardware.
How our conversion works:
- Closest Color Distance: We use Euclidean distance algorithm in the RGB color space to find the mathematically nearest Web-safe match for every pixel.
- RGB Rounding: A faster method that rounds each color component (R, G, B) to the nearest multiple of 51 (0x33).
- Privacy First: All color processing happens entirely in your browser. Your images are never uploaded to our servers.
