Turn your video into a Movie Palette

Your wedding, your travels, your kids — every frame’s colour, side by side, as one piece of wall art.

Example: a video turned into a colour barcode

What this makes

Every scene in your video has a dominant colour. This reads your whole video from beginning to end, takes the colour of each moment, and lines them all up side by side — one thin stripe per moment, in order.

The result is your video as a single image: the warm gold of a beach afternoon, the blues of an evening, the white of a wedding dress — all visible at once, in the order they happened. It reads as abstract art until you know what it is, and then it reads as your story.

How it works

Choose your video. We check it and tell you exactly how long it will take before you commit to anything.
It reads the colours. For most videos this happens inside your own browser — the file never leaves your computer, and nothing is uploaded. We only ever receive the colours, never the video.
You see your palette. Free, straight away, with a watermark. Order it as a canvas or a high-resolution file to get it clean.

Good to know

Any length: Thirty seconds or three hours. Longer videos simply give you more stripes.
Up to 4 GB: Larger than that and the wait becomes unreasonable. If your file is bigger, export it at 1080p — the palette will be identical, because every frame is reduced to its average colour and resolution makes no difference to that. It'll also be far quicker.
MP4 and MOV work best: These are what phones and cameras produce. Some MKV and HEVC files can't be read by browsers; if yours is one, we'll process it on our servers instead — that means uploading it, and we'll tell you how long that takes first.
Timings: Usually under a minute. Very large or very high-resolution files take longer, and we always measure your actual file and show you the real number rather than a guess.
Your privacy: For most videos, nothing is uploaded at all — the reading happens on your device. When a file does have to be sent to us, it's deleted as soon as the colours are read. We never keep your video.
What it won't do: It reads colour, not content — it can't find faces, pick highlights, or skip boring bits. A video that's mostly one colour will produce a palette that's mostly one colour.
