What is Picasso?

Picasso is a little utility that helps you with your design work. Quite often, you cannot or do not want to use the complex software packages available. For precisely those moments, Picasso is the right tool for the job. Picasso offers you the following features:

  • Colour Converter

    Convert quickly between hex and rgb colour modes, or generate random colours.
  • Palette Assistant

    Working on a flat design? Use the Google Material design guidelines to quickly pick the correct colours. Switch between the available colour intensities and click on the shades to copy their values into the clipboard.

Zen mode

Some people do not like cluttered interfaces. And some people do not even like the thought of a cluttered space. If you belong to the latter group, Picasso offers you a Zen mode. Zen mode removes all of the unnecessary elements from your interface, so you can focus on the content. Toggle the Zen mode by pressing the button below.
