Drop any image onto the upload zone or click to choose a file from your device.
Hover over the image and click on any pixel. A magnifier helps you target exact spots.
Copy HEX, RGB, or HSL with one click. Picked colors are saved to history.
Image Color Picker lets you identify any color inside an image by clicking on it. The tool reads the pixel data directly in your browser using the HTML Canvas API — your image is never sent to any server. Supports PNG, JPG, WEBP, GIF and SVG files.
No. Your image is processed entirely in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API. The file never leaves your device, making this tool completely private and safe to use with sensitive images.
The tool supports any format your browser can render: PNG, JPEG, WEBP, GIF (first frame), and SVG. Very large images may take a moment to load into the canvas.
The tool reads the exact pixel value from the canvas — it's as accurate as the image data itself. For JPEG images, there may be slight compression artifacts affecting edge pixels, but otherwise values are exact.
The 8× zoom lens shows an enlarged view of the pixel area around your cursor, making it easy to precisely target individual pixels in detailed images without needing to zoom in manually.
Yes. After picking one or more colors, an "Export Palette" button appears. It downloads a plain text file with all your picked HEX, RGB, and HSL values in a clean, labeled format.
HEX (e.g. #f472b6) is the standard for web CSS. RGB (e.g. rgb(244, 114, 182)) uses red/green/blue channels from 0–255. HSL (e.g. hsl(322, 87%, 70%)) uses hue, saturation, and lightness — often easier for humans to reason about color relationships.
An image color picker is a tool that lets you click on any pixel in a photo or graphic and instantly read its exact color value. Instead of guessing or using a design application, you simply drop your image into the tool, hover over the area you're interested in, and click to capture the precise HEX, RGB, or HSL code.
This is especially useful for designers, developers, and content creators who need to match colors from screenshots, brand assets, or reference images. Rather than eyeballing a color and hoping the approximation is close enough, an image color picker gives you the exact value at the pixel level.

When you upload an image, this tool draws it onto an HTML5 <canvas> element. The Canvas API provides a method called getImageData() that can read the raw RGBA values of any pixel coordinate. When you click at position (x, y) on the canvas, the tool retrieves the red, green, blue, and alpha values for that exact pixel and converts them into the various color formats you see.
This process happens entirely in your browser — the image data never leaves your device. This makes the tool completely private, even when working with confidential brand materials or sensitive screenshots.
The tool outputs the same color in three different notations, each useful in different contexts:
#f472b6, widely used in CSS stylesheets and design tools. Each pair of characters represents the red, green, and blue channel in hexadecimal (base-16) notation.rgb(244, 114, 182) that specifies each color channel as a decimal value from 0 to 255. This is easy to understand and directly usable in CSS and design software.hsl(322, 87%, 70%) describes color in terms of its position on the color wheel (hue), how vivid it is (saturation), and how light or dark it is (lightness). HSL is often more intuitive for making variations — for example, you can darken a color by reducing its lightness value.There are many everyday situations where being able to extract a color from an image saves significant time:
Precise pixel targeting in a high-resolution image can be tricky. A single pixel on a 4K photo is extremely small. The built-in 8× magnifier shows a zoomed preview of the area around your cursor, making it easy to see exactly which pixel you're about to click. This is particularly useful when extracting colors from thin borders, anti-aliased text edges, or subtle gradient transitions.
Every color you pick is automatically saved to a history palette at the bottom of the results panel. This lets you pick multiple colors from the same image — or different images — and collect them in one place. When you're done, the Export Palette button downloads a plain text file with all your colors organized by HEX, RGB, and HSL. This file can be pasted into a design brief, shared with a team, or imported into a color management tool.
Because this tool runs entirely in your browser, there is no server involved. Your image data is never transmitted over the internet. This is particularly important when working with confidential materials such as internal UI screenshots, proprietary product photos, or personal images. The tool uses the FileReader API to convert your local file into a data URL, which is then drawn onto a canvas — all within your browser's sandboxed environment.
Image Color Picker works in all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and Opera. The tool relies on the HTML5 Canvas API and the FileReader API, both of which have been supported across browsers for many years. No plugins, extensions, or special permissions are required.
