What is an image color picker?

An image color picker is a tool that lets you upload an image and extract color values from any pixel. It generates a color palette from the image and provides precise color codes in HEX format for design and development use.

How does the magnifying glass work?

The magnifying glass zooms in 4x on the area around your cursor, showing individual pixels with a grid overlay. This lets you pick colors with pixel-perfect precision, even from detailed or high-resolution images.

What image formats are supported?

The image color picker supports JPEG, PNG, and WebP formats. These cover most common image types used in web design, photography, and digital artwork.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No, all image processing happens locally in your browser. Your images are never uploaded to any server, ensuring complete privacy and fast performance.

How is the color palette generated?

The tool uses color quantization to analyze the image and extract the most dominant colors. It identifies the key colors that make up the image and presents them as a palette you can use in your designs.

Can I use the extracted colors in my designs?

Yes, all extracted colors are provided in HEX format, which is universally supported in CSS, design tools like Figma and Sketch, and most graphics software. You can copy any color with a single click.

Is this tool free to use?

Yes, the image color picker is 100% free with no sign-up required. It works directly in your browser with no installations or downloads needed.

Can I save colors for later use?

Yes, clicked colors are automatically added to the global color stack, which persists across different tools on the site. You can also send colors to the Palette Generator for further exploration.
