Image Color Picker

Click a pixel, get its hex.

Move your cursor over the image and the readout shows the exact hex and RGB value of the pixel under it; click to lock that color and copy it. The picker reads the true pixel from your full-resolution file, not the shrunken preview, so the hex you grab matches the source. Nothing is uploaded, so it runs offline on your own device.

How it works

When you drop a file, the image is drawn twice: once scaled down so you can see it, and once at full resolution onto a hidden canvas. As you move the cursor, the tool maps the pointer to a source pixel and reads a single pixel with getImageData, then formats it as hex and RGB. A click stores that reading in your picked list. All of it runs in the browser, with no upload and no server round trip.

What you can copy

Format Example Good for
HEX #1a73e8 CSS, design tools and sharing a single color as one token
RGB rgb(26, 115, 232) Canvas, gradients and code that needs the separate channels

Questions people ask

How do I pick a color from an image?

Drop your image, then move the cursor over it. The readout shows the hex and RGB value of the exact pixel under the pointer. Click to lock that color and it drops into your picked list, where each swatch has a copy button. Hover is a live preview; a click is how you keep a color.

What is the difference between the hex and RGB value?

They describe the same color in two notations. Hex, like #1a73e8, is a compact string most design tools and CSS accept. RGB, like rgb(26, 115, 232), lists the red, green and blue channels as separate numbers, which is handy when code needs to read or tweak one channel. Copy whichever your workflow expects.

Does the color picker send my image anywhere?

No. The picture is read straight into a canvas on your device and every pixel is read locally, so it works with the network off. Nothing is uploaded to a server and nothing is stored after you close the tab.
