Image Color Picker
A colour eyedropper for images: load a screenshot, a photo or a design file and click to sample exact pixel colours, or let the tool extract the dominant palette for you.
100% private — everything runs in your browser, nothing is ever uploaded.
How to use it
- Load an image onto the canvas.
- Click any pixel to sample it — the HEX and RGB values appear below.
- Or press Extract palette to get the eight most common colours.
Why it stays private
Brand colours and unreleased designs are exactly the kind of thing you should not hand to a random web service. Sampling uses the canvas API in your own tab.
Questions
Why is the sampled colour slightly different from my design tool?
Browser canvas works in sRGB and your monitor profile, colour management and JPEG compression all shift pixels slightly. Differences of one or two points per channel are normal.
How is the palette extracted?
The image is scaled down, each pixel's colour is quantised into buckets, and the most frequent buckets are returned. It is a fast approximation — perfect for finding a design's main colours, not for print-accurate work.
What can I do with the extracted colours?
Commonly: build a matching colour scheme for a website, pick a text colour that sits well on a photo, or check which brand colours an existing asset actually uses.
