Pick a pixel from an image and copy its HEX, RGB or HSL color, including transparency. Explore an approximate dominant-color palette and download your color data privately in your browser.

No image selected.
Click or tap the image to sample a pixel at its original decoded resolution. Focus the image and use arrow keys to move 1 pixel, or Shift + arrow for 10.
Load an image to see its dominant palette. Select a swatch to view its color values.
Choose an image to begin.
Ready. Choose an image to pick a color.
Pixel values come from the original-size browser-decoded image, not the scaled preview. The browser applies orientation and color handling; values may differ from raw file data or other color-managed applications. Fully transparent pixels have no visible color, and their hidden RGB values may be lost during decoding.
Palette percentages describe sampled visible color weight, not exact counts in the full image. The top colors may not add up to 100%. Alpha and HSL text are rounded to three decimals; HEX preserves the sampled 8-bit channels.
Your image is never uploaded to any server; pixel sampling, color conversion and palette extraction happen locally in your browser. The pixel picker samples the original-size decoded image rather than the scaled preview. No account or image history is needed, and the palette uses a bounded local sample to keep processing responsive.
No. A click maps to coordinates in the original-size browser-decoded image, and that single pixel is sampled directly. The preview is scaled for your screen. Coordinates start at zero at the top-left after browser orientation is applied. Arrow keys move one original pixel; Shift + arrow moves ten.
Static PNG, JPEG and WebP, up to 20 MiB, 40 megapixels and 16,384 pixels per side. SVG, GIF, AVIF, HEIC and detected animated PNG/WebP are not supported. Browser decoding and available memory may impose lower limits.
The image is sampled at up to 320 × 320 pixels using nearest-pixel sampling. Similar RGB values are grouped into 5-bit buckets and averaged within each bucket. Pixels contribute in proportion to alpha; fully transparent pixels do not contribute. The three, five or eight heaviest buckets are shown. This is an approximate palette, can include similar shades and may miss small features.
They are fractions of all visible sampled pixel weight, not exact percentages of the full image or percentages renormalized to the displayed colors. The top colors may total less than 100 percent. Palette colors are shown as opaque bucket averages; their original alpha is represented by their contribution to the weighting.
HEX includes an alpha byte when the selected pixel is not fully opaque. RGB and HSL include alpha rounded to three decimals, while JSON retains the sampled alpha byte and numeric fraction. Fully transparent pixels have no visible RGB color, and hidden RGB may be lost when decoding. Browser orientation and color management apply, so results can differ from raw file values or other applications.
No. It samples only the image you choose, without screen capture or camera access. It does not modify or download a changed image. The JSON download contains color data, dimensions and calculation notes, not the image file.
The previous image bitmap, sample buffers and color results are released. Pending decodes from an earlier file are ignored and closed. Clear removes selected colors and downloads; leaving the page releases application-held resources. Image inputs are not stored in browser storage.
