What is Color Picker from Image?

Sometimes you don't want the average palette — you want the exact color of one specific pixel: the shadow under the button, the tint of a specific highlight, the background of a screenshot. This tool loads your image into an in-browser Canvas, samples pixel color on hover and click, and keeps a running list of everything you've picked. Nothing about the image or the picks ever leaves your device.

How to pick a color from an image online

  1. 1Drop an image onto the page.
  2. 2Hover to preview a pixel's HEX; click to save it to the picks list.
  3. 3Copy HEX from each saved pick with one click.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Zoom in your browser (Cmd/Ctrl +) before clicking for pixel-level precision on small images.
  • The tool keeps the last 20 picks — older ones drop off the top.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I sample from a screenshot?

Yes. Any raster image works — JPG, PNG, WebP, screenshots pasted from clipboard tools, phone photos. Hover for a live preview, click to save the color to the picks list.

Does it work with transparent PNGs?

Yes. Transparent pixels return their underlying RGB (usually 0,0,0 or another placeholder color depending on the source). If you want to sample the composited color, place the image on a colored background first.

Is my image uploaded?

No. The tool reads pixels via Canvas.getImageData in your browser.
