Import, export, and sharing

Export is available from Generate, a saved palette, or a color’s detail view. Choose a format for the app you want to use:

• SVG creates editable vector swatches.
• PNG creates an image of the palette.
• ASE exchanges swatches with compatible design apps.
• CSS, SCSS, Tailwind CSS, SwiftUI, and Design tokens (JSON) create code or design-system values.
• JSON exports Huebook’s color data for import later.

Controls by platform

Mac

• Choose a format, then choose a location in the save dialog. Hover over a format to reveal its favorite star. Apple Color List (.clr) is available on Mac. For a quick handoff, drag a palette row or a catalog color into an app that accepts SVG or text.

iPhone and iPad

• Choose a format to open the system share sheet, then select an app or Save to Files. Favorite stars are always visible. In Generate on iPhone, Export is in the More menu. Apple Color List (.clr) is Mac-only.

Huebook JSON retains names, Pantone codes, color sources, and extended color data when present. Other formats preserve only what they support. The Display P3 and HDR export choices cover different color ranges; choose a format supported by the receiving app and display.

To import, open Palettes → Add Palette → Import and choose the matching format. Star frequently used formats to pin them in Favorites; import and export share this list. PNG imports extract representative colors rather than recovering an original palette exactly. ASE import supports RGB and grayscale swatches; CMYK and Lab swatches are not supported. OpenEXR can be exported but cannot currently be imported.
