## What it is
Visual Center is a web tool and npm library that finds the visual (optical) center of images and logos by computing per-pixel color-difference weights against the detected background. It helps designers pad or position logos so they appear properly centered rather than just bounding-box centered.

## Use cases
- find the visual center of a logo
- make a logo look centered in a container
- pad an image so its pixel weight is balanced
- get visual center coordinates programmatically from node
- fix logos that rotate off-center
- detect the background color of an image

## When to choose
- you need logos or icons to look optically centered rather than geometrically centered
- you want a quick browser tool plus a small npm library for programmatic use

## When to avoid
- you need general image editing or cropping features
- you need batch processing of thousands of images at scale
