    How to use Image Color Picker

    Pick exact pixel colors from an image with zoom up to 6400%, a pixel grid and a magnifier. Each pick is copied as HEX and shown in RGB, HSL and OKLCH, and 3×3 or 5×5 averaging smooths out photo noise.

    1. 1

      Drop an image (JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, HEIC or AVIF) or click to choose one.

    2. 2

      Scroll or pinch to zoom and drag to pan; Fit to view and 1:1 reset the view.

    3. 3

      Hover to inspect pixels in the magnifier, choose a Sample size (1 px, 3×3 or 5×5), and click to pick.

    4. 4

      The HEX value is copied at once; copy RGB, HSL or OKLCH from the side panel, and find earlier picks under Picked colors.

    Frequently asked questions

    Is my image uploaded?

    No. The image is read in your browser. Only the HEX codes of your picks (up to 48) are kept in local storage so the history survives a reload; Clear history removes them.

    Why do neighboring pixels have slightly different colors?

    Photos have sensor noise and JPEG artifacts. Set Sample size to 3×3 or 5×5 to average the pixels around the pointer.

    Can I pick a color from outside the image?

    In Chromium-based browsers such as Chrome and Edge, Pick from screen lets you sample any pixel on your screen. Other browsers hide the button.

    Can I use it with the keyboard?

    Yes. Focus the image, then use the arrow keys to move the cursor (Shift moves 10 px), Enter to pick, + and − to zoom, and 0 to fit the view.

    How is this different from Palette from Image?

    This tool gives you the exact color of the pixel you choose. Palette from Image summarizes a whole picture into a few representative colors.
