About the Color Picker from Image

The Color Picker from Image lets you click anywhere on an uploaded photo to read the exact color of that pixel. You instantly get the HEX code, RGB and HSL values — each with a one-click copy button — plus a swatch history of your last eight picks for building quick palettes.

Designers use it to extract brand colors from logos, developers grab exact values from mockups and screenshots, and artists sample real-world photos for painting references. It's the eyedropper tool, without opening a heavy editor.

The image is drawn to a canvas in your own browser and sampled locally. Nothing is uploaded, so unreleased designs and client assets stay confidential.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find the color code from an image?

Upload the image and click the pixel you're interested in. The tool reads that pixel and shows its HEX code (like #3A7BD5), RGB and HSL values instantly, each with a copy button.

How accurate is the color picker?

It samples the actual pixel value from the decoded image data, so it's exact for the file you uploaded. Note that heavily compressed JPEGs can shift colors slightly from the original design, so sample from the highest-quality file you have.

What's the difference between HEX, RGB and HSL?

They describe the same color differently: HEX (#ff6600) is the compact web notation, RGB lists red, green and blue components (255, 102, 0), and HSL expresses hue, saturation and lightness, which is more intuitive for adjusting shades in CSS.

Can I pick multiple colors to build a palette?

Yes — every click is added to a history strip holding your last 8 picks. Click any swatch in the history to bring its values back, then copy them one by one into your design tool.

Why does the picked color look different on another screen?

The code you pick is exact, but monitors render colors differently depending on their calibration and color profile. The HEX/RGB values are the ground truth; display variation is a property of each screen.
