Pigmentra on iPhone and iPad

Pigmentra delivers a native iOS experience optimized for Apple's ecosystem. The app harnesses the power of on-device machine learning through Core ML, processing color extraction and palette generation entirely on your iPhone or iPad without requiring an internet connection. Neural Engine acceleration on A14 Bionic chips and newer means image analysis completes in under 2 seconds, even for 12-megapixel photos from your Camera Roll.

iCloud sync seamlessly preserves your entire palette library, export history, and custom color collections across all devices signed in with your Apple ID. Create a palette on your iPhone during a client meeting, refine it on iPad Pro at your desk, then export directly to Figma on your Mac—all changes propagate in real-time through CloudKit. Your WCAG contrast checker results, locked color positions, and harmony adjustment preferences remain synchronized across the entire Apple ecosystem.

The iPad version takes full advantage of the Liquid Retina XDR display on iPad Pro models, rendering color previews with P3 wide color gamut support for the most accurate representation possible on mobile devices. Split View and Slide Over multitasking allow you to extract colors from reference images in Safari while simultaneously editing palettes in Pigmentra. Apple Pencil support on compatible iPads enables precision color picking with pixel-level accuracy, while Scribble lets you rename palettes using handwriting recognition.

iOS-Exclusive Features

On-Device Machine Learning

Pigmentra processes all color extraction and AI palette generation directly on your iPhone or iPad using Core ML models optimized for Apple Silicon. The Neural Engine on A14 Bionic chips and newer accelerates color harmony calculations up to 8x faster than cloud processing, with complete functionality in airplane mode. Image analysis completes in under 2 seconds for photos up to 12MP, with all processing happening locally to protect your privacy.

Live Photo Color Extraction

Unique to iOS, Pigmentra can extract color palettes from Live Photos captured with your iPhone. Scrub through the 3-second video timeline to identify the exact frame with optimal lighting or composition, then extract colors from that specific moment. The feature works with all Live Photos in your library, including Portrait mode shots with depth information preserved.

iCloud Library Sync

Every palette, export preset, and custom color collection syncs seamlessly via iCloud across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. CloudKit integration ensures sub-second synchronization when changes are made—create a palette on your iPhone and watch it appear on your iPad in real-time. Sync includes full version history, allowing you to revert palette edits made on any device up to 30 days in the past.

Siri Shortcuts Integration

Create custom voice commands like "Hey Siri, extract colors from my last photo" or "Generate a sunset palette" using the Shortcuts app. Pigmentra exposes 12 shortcut actions including image extraction, AI generation with text prompts, export to specific formats, and palette library search. Chain multiple actions together to build complex workflows, such as automatically generating a palette from new screenshots and exporting to Figma.

Apple Pencil Precision

On compatible iPad models, use Apple Pencil to pick colors with pixel-level accuracy from imported images. Double-tap the Pencil to switch between color picker and eyedropper modes, or use pressure sensitivity to adjust saturation values in real-time. Scribble support lets you rename palettes by writing directly on the screen, with handwriting converted to text instantly using on-device recognition.

Widget & Lock Screen Extensions

Add Pigmentra widgets to your Home Screen or iPad desktop to view recently used palettes at a glance. The small widget displays your 5 most recent colors, the medium widget shows full 5-color palettes with names, and the large widget includes quick-launch buttons for AI generation and camera extraction. On iOS 16+, Lock Screen widgets display your current palette of the day with a single tap to open the full app.

Frequently Asked Questions

For optimal performance including Neural Engine acceleration and Live Photo extraction, iOS 16.0 or later is recommended. The current version 3.1.2 is fully tested and optimized for iOS 17 and iPadOS 17.
Yes, Pigmentra is a universal iOS app with native interfaces optimized for both iPhone and iPad screen sizes. On iPhone, the app uses a single-column layout designed for portrait orientation and one-handed use. On iPad, the interface expands to a two-column design with side-by-side palette editing and preview panels. iPad versions support Split View, Slide Over, and Stage Manager multitasking on iPadOS 16+, along with Apple Pencil integration on compatible models. All features and functionality are identical across devices, with progress synchronized via iCloud.
Pigmentra uses iCloud to automatically sync your entire palette library, export history, custom color collections, and app preferences across all iOS and macOS devices signed in with the same Apple ID. Synchronization happens in real-time via CloudKit—changes made on one device appear on other devices within 1-3 seconds when connected to the internet. If you edit palettes offline, changes queue locally and sync automatically when you reconnect. You can enable or disable iCloud sync in Settings > Pigmentra > iCloud Sync. The feature requires an active iCloud account with sufficient storage space available.
Absolutely. Pigmentra offers complete offline functionality with all core features available without an internet connection. Image color extraction, AI palette generation, harmony adjustments, and WCAG accessibility checking all run on-device using Core ML models stored locally. You can create, edit, and save unlimited palettes in airplane mode or areas without cellular service. Export functionality works offline for local formats including PNG swatches, JSON, and CSV. Cloud exports to Figma and Adobe Creative Cloud queue locally and process automatically when you reconnect to the internet.
The initial App Store download is 24.3 MB. After installation, Pigmentra occupies approximately 32 MB including the Core ML models for on-device AI processing. As you create and save palettes, storage usage grows modestly—a library of 500 saved palettes with thumbnails typically consumes an additional 15-20 MB. Cached image thumbnails and export history add another 10-15 MB. Total storage usage rarely exceeds 80 MB even for power users with extensive palette libraries. The app automatically purges old cache data when your device storage runs low.
Yes, Pigmentra is fully optimized for iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and the latest iPad Pro models with M2 chips. The app leverages the A17 Pro and M2 Neural Engine for 8x faster color extraction and palette generation compared to older devices. ProMotion displays on iPhone 14 Pro and newer render color transitions at native 120Hz for ultra-smooth animations. Dynamic Island integration on iPhone 14 Pro and newer displays live extraction progress and palette generation status. P3 wide color gamut support on iPad Pro ensures the most accurate color representation possible on mobile devices.
Yes, Pigmentra supports Family Sharing on the App Store. When you download the free app, up to five additional family members in your Family Sharing group can install it on their devices at no cost. In-app purchases including Premium subscription, Export Credit bundles, and Advanced AI Features are also shareable across your family—purchase once and all members gain access. Each family member maintains a separate palette library and iCloud sync is isolated per Apple ID, ensuring privacy while sharing access to premium features.
Yes, Pigmentra offers one-tap export to Figma directly from iPhone or iPad. Connect your Figma account in Settings > Integrations, then tap the Export button and select Figma from the format list. Choose to create a new color style library or add colors to an existing project. The app authenticates via OAuth and creates color styles in your Figma workspace within 5-10 seconds. Each color includes automatic naming based on hue and luminance values, or you can customize names before export. The integration supports Figma's REST API and works with both free and paid Figma accounts.
