About the Image Color Picker

The Image Color Picker lets you read the exact color of any pixel in an image. Drop in or browse to a file, hover to preview the color under your cursor, and click to sample it. You get the HEX and RGB values with one-click copy, plus a list of your recent picks as swatches. It is built for designers, front-end developers, and anyone matching colors from a screenshot, logo, or photo. Everything runs in your browser with the Canvas API, so your image is never uploaded.

How it works

  1. Drop an image onto the panel or click to browse for a JPEG, PNG, WebP, or GIF file.
  2. Move your cursor over the image to preview the color under it, with a zoomed magnifier for precise pixels.
  3. Click any pixel to sample it. The HEX and RGB values appear, and the color is added to your recent picks.
  4. Copy a value with the Copy button, or click a swatch in the recent list to copy its HEX.

Features

  • Hover preview shows the live color under your cursor before you click.
  • Pixel magnifier zooms into the area around the cursor for accurate sampling.
  • HEX and RGB output for every picked color, with one-click copy.
  • Recent picks kept as clickable swatches, each copying its HEX on click.
  • Works with JPEG, PNG, WebP, and GIF, fully client-side.

Frequently asked questions

Is my image uploaded anywhere?

No. The image is drawn to a canvas and read in your browser with the Canvas API. It is never sent to a server or logged.

Which image formats are supported?

Any format your browser can display works, including JPEG, PNG, WebP, and GIF. For animated GIFs, the first frame is used.

How accurate is the picked color?

Large images are scaled down to fit the panel, so the sampled pixel matches the displayed image rather than the full-resolution original. The magnifier helps you target the exact pixel you want.

How many recent colors are kept?

Up to 18 recent picks are stored as swatches. Picking a color that is already in the list moves it back to the front, and older colors drop off once the limit is reached.

Does it work offline?

Yes. After the page loads, color picking runs locally in your browser, so the tool keeps working without an active connection.
