How to use Colour picker from image
Add your file
Drop your image file onto the upload area, or tap the area to choose it from your device.
Run it
Press Stop picking. The button stays disabled until there is something to work on, and each file shows its own progress and result.
Start over any time
Nothing is saved on a server, so reloading the page clears everything.
What this tool does
Hover to preview, click to pick any pixel
Move over the image and the colour under the pointer is previewed. Click and that exact pixel is captured.
Get HEX, RGB and HSL with one-tap copy
Each pick gives you HEX, RGB and HSL together, with a copy button on each so you take only the format you need.
Keeps a row of picked colours as a palette
Picks stack up in a row underneath, so you can build a palette from several parts of the same photo before you copy anything.
Works with touch on phones
Touch works the same way on a phone: drag to preview and lift to pick, so it does not need a mouse.
Runs in your browser, nothing uploaded
The image is decoded and read by your browser, so it is never uploaded and the page works with no connection.
Frequently asked questions
Is my image uploaded?
No. The image is read entirely in your browser, so it never leaves your device.
What colour values do I get?
For any pixel you get the HEX code, the RGB values and the HSL values, each with its own copy button.
How do I pick a colour?
Move the pointer over the image to preview the colour under it, then click to lock it in and copy the HEX. Picked colours are kept in a row below so you can build a palette. Use Stop picking to freeze the canvas when you are done, and Clear colours to empty the row. Click any saved colour to load its HEX, RGB and HSL back into the readout so you can copy them.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. Tap a spot on the image to pick the colour there.
Can I pick from any image type?
Yes, any common image such as JPEG, PNG or WebP works.
