Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Palettify — free colour palette generator by Thunder Technology.
What is Palettify and who is it for?▾
Palettify is a free online colour palette generator by Thunder Technology. It's built for UI/UX designers, web developers, brand managers, artists, and students who need beautiful, accessible colour palettes without paying for expensive tools. Works instantly in any browser — no download, no account.
Is Palettify completely free?▾
Yes — 100% free, forever. Every tool including palette generation, WCAG contrast checker, tints & shades, colour blindness simulator, font pairing, wallpaper studio, image extraction, and the curated Discover library costs nothing. No subscriptions, no credits, no hidden fees. If you'd like to support the project, consider buying us a coffee ☕.
How do I generate a colour palette?▾
Go to the Generate tab, click the colour circle or type a HEX code directly, then choose a harmony mode — Analogous, Complementary, Triadic, Shades, Split Comp, or Square. Hit Generate. You can also press Space on your keyboard for a random colour, or use ←→ to browse history.
How does the WCAG contrast checker work?▾
Every time you generate a palette, Palettify automatically calculates contrast ratios between all colour pairs and checks them against WCAG 2.1 standards. You'll see AA (4.5:1) and AAA (7:1) pass/fail badges for each combination directly under the palette — making it easy to ensure your design is accessible.
What export formats does Palettify support?▾
You can export your palette as: PNG image, CSS Variables (ready to paste into your stylesheet), JSON (for any app), Tailwind config (colours object for tailwind.config.js), and SVG. Just click Export ▾ in the Generate tab.
What's inside the Discover section?▾
The Discover section has 100+ hand-picked 3-colour palettes organised into 12 categories: Vintage, Retro, Pastel, Neon, Dark, Nature, Warm, Cold, Sunset, Earth, Gold, and Night. You can filter by category, search by HEX or name, and click any palette to load it straight into the generator.
Where are my saved palettes stored? Is it private?▾
Saved palettes are stored in your browser's local storage — they never leave your device and are never sent to any server. This means they're completely private, but also device-specific. Clear your browser data and they'll be gone, so export anything important first.
Does Palettify work on mobile and tablets?▾
Yes. Palettify is fully responsive and touch-optimised. On mobile, the bottom dock gives you one-tap access to all 11 tools. The colour picker, tints explorer, wallpaper studio, and discover grid all work great on smartphones and tablets in any modern browser.
What is the Wallpaper Studio?▾
The Wallpaper Studio generates real-time animated wallpapers based on your current colour palette. Choose from four visual styles — Blobs, Waves, Aurora, and Mesh — adjust animation speed, and download the result as a high-resolution PNG to use as a desktop or phone wallpaper.
Who made Palettify?▾
Palettify is made by Thunder Technology, an independent design and technology studio from India. We build free tools for designers and creators. Follow us on YouTube and Instagram, or visit wondermayank.github.io to see more of our work.
