What is Online Image Color Picker?

Image Color Picker is a free online tool for picking any color from an image. While you are moving your cursor over the image, a magnifier will zoom in the related area and help you to choose the exact pixel you want to pick from the image.

When you make a design or code a website, you may need color code of a specific part of an image to use it in another section to increase consistency between elements. If you don't want to open big desktop applications like Photoshop, Sketch or Figma just to pick a color from an image, online Image Color Picker will help you to pick the color with the fastest way. Result will be listed in Hex, RGBA & HSL color code format and you can copy any of them according to your needs.

Here you can see how Image Color Picker works on an image and how you can pick the desired color.

Frequently asked questions

How do I hit the exact pixel I want?

A magnifier follows your cursor and zooms into the area under it, so you can land on a specific pixel rather than somewhere near it. That is the difference between matching a colour and almost matching it.

Which formats can I copy?

HEX, RGB and HSL. HEX is what most design tools and stylesheets expect; HSL is the one to reach for when you want to tweak lightness without changing the hue.

Does it work on screenshots?

Yes, and that is one of the most common uses — pulling a brand colour out of a screenshot of a site or an app when no style guide is to hand.

Is my image uploaded?

No. The picker reads the image inside your browser, so screenshots of private dashboards and internal designs stay on your machine.

Can I get more than one colour at a time?

Yes — the Image Color Extractor returns the whole palette at once, and the Color Tools will mix and generate shades from whatever you pick.
