Image Color Picker
Pick any color from an image with an eyedropper. Get HEX, RGB, and HSL values with one-click copy — runs entirely in your browser, your image is never uploaded.
How it works
- 1
Choose an image or drag it onto the picker — it loads locally, nothing is uploaded.
- 2
Move the eyedropper over the image; the magnifier zooms in so you can target the exact pixel. Click to pick.
- 3
Copy the HEX, RGB, or HSL value with one click. Picked colors collect in a palette below the image.
About the color picker
The image color picker lets you identify the exact color of any pixel in a photo, screenshot, logo, or design asset. Load an image, move the eyedropper over it, and click to capture the color — the tool shows the HEX code, RGB values, and HSL values side by side, each with a one-click copy button. A zoom magnifier follows your cursor so you can land on exactly the pixel you want, even in fine detail like text edges or 1-pixel borders.
Unlike most tools on this site, the color picker runs entirely in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API. Your image is never uploaded to our servers — pixel sampling happens locally on your device, which means it works instantly, works offline once the page is loaded, and nothing about your image ever leaves your machine.
Designers use it to extract brand colors from logos and mockups. Developers grab exact HEX codes from screenshots when a style guide isn't available. Marketers match campaign assets to existing brand palettes. Artists sample reference photos for digital painting. Anyone rebuilding a slide deck or document can match colors from a screenshot of the original.
Every color you pick is added to a session palette below the image, so you can sample several points and compare them — useful for picking a dominant color from a gradient or averaging your eye over a textured area. The palette and all values are discarded when you leave the page; nothing is stored.
Frequently asked questions
- Is my image uploaded to your servers?
- No. The color picker runs 100% in your browser using the Canvas API. The image is read locally on your device, sampled locally, and discarded when you leave the page. It never crosses the network.
- Which color formats does it output?
- HEX (#RRGGBB), RGB (rgb(r, g, b)), and HSL (hsl(h, s%, l%)). Each has its own copy button. For pixels with transparency, the alpha value is shown as well.
- How precise is the picker?
- Pixel-exact. The zoom magnifier shows an enlarged view of the area under your cursor with a crosshair on the center pixel, so you can pick a 1-pixel border or anti-aliased text edge reliably.
- Does it work with animated GIFs?
- Yes, but colors are sampled from the first frame only — that's what the browser draws to the canvas.
- Is there a file size limit?
- No server limit, because nothing is uploaded. Very large images (50+ megapixels) are limited only by your device's memory.
- Can I pick multiple colors and build a palette?
- Yes. Every picked color is added to a session palette below the image so you can compare several samples. The palette is not stored — it resets when you leave the page.
