The short version

Select Upload images in your library, choose images from your device, or drag them onto the page. Visualist saves each image and extracts its colors; you can also use the browser extension to save images from the web.

Your library is where every image you collect lives. You can add images from your device in a couple of ways.

Upload from your device

  1. Open your library. This is where your images, designs, and palettes are kept.
  2. Click Upload images. Choose Upload from device, then select one or more files. You can also drag files from your desktop straight onto the page.
  3. Let it process. Visualist saves each image and pulls out its colors.
Good to know

To add your first images, choose Upload from device or select Install browser extension to save images from the web.

Save images from the web

To clip images while you browse, install the Visualist browser extension. It lets you save and crop images from any site straight into your library. See How do I install the browser extension?.

What you can upload

Visualist accepts common image formats including JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, AVIF, and SVG, and converts them to a web-friendly format for you. For the full list and file size guidance, see What image formats can I upload to Visualist?.

Tip

On the free plan, your library holds up to 500 files. Paid plans remove that limit. See What is Visualist?.
