What Is the Image Color Picker?

The Image Color Picker lets you extract exact colors from any image right in your browser. Upload a photo, screenshot, or design file, then click anywhere on the image to instantly get the color value in HEX, RGB, and HSL formats. No software installation required.

Whether you are matching brand colors from a logo, sampling colors from a photograph for a design project, or identifying the exact shade used on a website screenshot, this tool gives you pixel-perfect accuracy in one click.

How to Use the Image Color Picker

  • Drag and drop an image onto the upload area, or click to select a file from your device. PNG, JPG, GIF, and WebP formats are supported.
  • Once the image loads, hover over it and click on any pixel. The crosshair cursor guides your selection.
  • The picked color appears in the sidebar with its HEX, RGB, and HSL values. Click the copy button next to any format to copy it to your clipboard.
  • Every color you pick is saved to the Recent Picks palette. Click any swatch to revisit a previously sampled color.
  • Use the Change Image button to load a different file without refreshing the page.

Tips for Accurate Color Picking

For the best results, use high-resolution images. Compressed JPEGs may introduce color artifacts around edges. If you need a color from a specific area, zoom into your image in an editor first and then take a screenshot of the zoomed region before uploading.

The tool scales large images to fit the canvas while preserving aspect ratio. The color values are sampled from the scaled image pixels, so results are consistent regardless of the original file size.

Common Use Cases

  • Extracting brand colors from a client logo or marketing material
  • Matching paint or fabric colors from a reference photo
  • Sampling color palettes from photography or artwork for design inspiration
  • Identifying HEX codes from website screenshots for CSS development
  • Building a color palette from a mood board image

Supported Color Formats

Every picked color is displayed in three standard formats. HEX codes like #3b82f6 are commonly used in CSS and web design. RGB values are useful for graphic design software and digital displays. HSL values provide an intuitive way to understand a color in terms of hue, saturation, and lightness, making adjustments easier.
