Image Color Picker

About the Image Color Picker

Matching a colour from an image — a brand shade, a colour in a photo, a tone in a design — is something designers and developers do constantly. Guessing the value never quite matches; picking it directly does.

This Image Color Picker lets you pick any colour from an image and get its exact HEX and RGB values in your browser, with nothing uploaded.

How to use the Image Color Picker

1. Add your image by dragging it in or browsing.
2. Click any point on the image to sample its colour.
3. Read the exact HEX and RGB values.
4. Copy the value into your design or code.

Key features of the Image Color Picker

• Picks any colour from an image

• Perfect for matching brand colours
• Instant, precise sampling
• Runs locally — images are never uploaded

How the Image Color Picker works

This tool processes your pictures using the browser's built-in Canvas API and standard image codecs for JPG, PNG and WebP. Resizing, cropping, conversion and compression all happen on your own device, so the image data is never sent to a server. Compression balances file size against visual quality using established lossy and lossless techniques appropriate to each format.

Tips & best practices

• Zoom in before sampling to pick the exact pixel you want, especially near edges and gradients.
• Sample a few nearby pixels if a colour looks uneven, and pick the most representative value.
• Convert the picked colour to other formats with the Color Converter if you need HSL.

Standards & accuracy

Uses the browser's native Canvas API and standard web image formats (JPG, PNG, WebP) — images are never uploaded.

For the best results, resize an image to the dimensions you actually display before compressing, and choose WebP for the web where a smaller file at the same quality is the priority.
