Image Color Picker
Click anywhere on an image to extract the exact color values in HEX, RGB, and HSL formats.
How To Use
- Upload Image — Select any image file (JPG, PNG, WebP).
- Click to Pick — Click on any pixel in the image to sample its color.
- Copy Values — Click on any color value to copy it to your clipboard.
What Is an Image Color Picker?
An image color picker (or color sampler) allows you to upload any image and click on specific pixels to extract their exact color values. This is an essential tool for web designers, graphic designers, digital artists, and developers who need to match colors from reference images. Instead of guessing or using external tools, you can precisely identify colors from photographs, logos, illustrations, and any other image.
Understanding Color Formats
This tool displays colors in three formats. HEX (hexadecimal) is the most common format for web development, represented as #RRGGBB (e.g., #FF5733). RGB (Red, Green, Blue) expresses colors as three values from 0 to 255 (e.g., rgb(255, 87, 51)). HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) represents color in a more intuitive way — hue is the color angle (0-360 degrees), saturation is intensity (0-100%), and lightness is brightness (0-100%). Each format is useful in different contexts, and having all three makes this tool versatile for any design workflow.
How Pixel Sampling Works
When you click on the image, the tool uses the Canvas getImageData() API to read the exact RGB values of the pixel at your cursor position. Because images are scaled to fit the display area, the tool calculates the corresponding pixel coordinates in the original image dimensions. This ensures you get accurate colors regardless of how the image is displayed.
Is This Tool Private?
Yes. All processing happens locally in your browser using the Canvas API. Your image is never uploaded to any server. No data is stored, logged, or transmitted. This is the most private way to pick colors from images.
