Image simplifier

World's simplest image tool
Free online image color simplifier. Just drag and drop your image here and it will automatically take on a simple look with schematic color compositions. In the options, you can specify the degree of image simplification by adjusting the total number of colors in the image. You can also create a retro image in gray tones and choose the image format you want to make. Created by engineers from team Browserling.

What is a image simplifier?

learn more about this tool
This tool simplifies the colors of an image, creating a specific artistic effect. This process involves converting the image from its original color space to a reduced color space. To simplify the image colors, the program uses a color quantization method, which includes clustering similar colors in the image into a smaller set of representative colors known as the color palette. The number of colors in the palette is determined based on the desired level of color simplification and can be specified in the options. Images with simplified colors can be used to create specific artistic effects or styles, such as visual effects in a retro or cartoon style. Additionally, simplified images have a smaller size and are more compressible. For creating retro styles, the program includes an option to convert the image to grayscale tones. There is also an option in the program to select the format of the simplified image. Image-abulous!

Create a Retro Style Image
In this example, we create an image of an old camera in a retro style. We apply the technique of color simplification using quantization, reducing the image's color palette to 6 colors. (Source: Pexels.)

Generate a Cartoon Image
In this example, we apply a cartoonish effect to a cluster of colorful eggs decorated with yellow smiley faces. We achieve this by simplifying the images using only 12 colors, giving the objects a 2D art style. (Source: Pexels.)

Create a Sketch Portrait
In this example, we redraw a woman's portrait using a simplified color palette of 8 shades. Gradient areas are transformed into speckled regions, and the facial features adopt a schematic effect. Additionally, we apply a grayscale filter to the image. (Source: Pexels.)
