Image Color Picker for HEX, RGB, and HSL

Pick colors from photos, screenshots, product images, and design exports without uploading files. Click a pixel, review the palette, and copy CSS-ready color values.

Quick answer

An image color picker samples pixels from a local image and returns copy-ready color values.

Use it for brand references, CSS tokens, social assets, screenshots, and palette notes.

Best inputs for color sampling

Use the cleanest source image

Screenshots and compressed images can contain blended edge pixels, so click a solid area when possible.

Check contrast afterward

A color that looks good in a photo may still need contrast testing before use in text or UI.

Extracted palette

The image is sampled locally with canvas. Files are not uploaded, and extracted colors stay in your browser.

Example

Upload a product screenshot, click a button color, copy the HEX value, then convert or test it before adding it to a design token.

Assumption

The browser can decode the image and sample it with canvas. The extracted palette is approximate, not a full color science analysis.

Limitation

Color profiles, transparency, scaling, and compression can affect sampled pixels, especially around anti-aliased edges.

Practical use cases

Use sampled colors as a starting point, then verify them in the tool that matches the job.

Extract brand-like colors from an approved screenshot or visual reference.

Pick colors from a product photo before creating a matching social asset.

Frequently asked questions

Does this image color picker upload my image?

No. The image is decoded and sampled locally in your browser with canvas. The current tool does not upload the file to a backend.

Which color formats can I copy?

You can copy HEX, RGB, and HSL values for the selected pixel.

Can it extract a palette from an image?

Yes. The tool samples the image and shows a compact palette of dominant approximate colors.

Why might a picked color differ from a design file?

Browser decoding, image compression, scaling, color profiles, and anti-aliased edges can make sampled pixels differ slightly from a source design file.
