How to use Image Color Picker
1. Select your input
Choose a JPG, PNG or WebP image from your device using the file button or supported drop area. The standard file picker accepts browser-readable images up to 25 MB; decoding support depends on the file and browser.
2. Understand the settings
Click the image to read its colour value. The displayed code can be copied for use in a design or CSS rule.
3. Process and review
Choose a picture, click an interior pixel rather than an antialiased edge, and read or copy the value.
4. Save your result
Read or copy the displayed colour code after sampling the image. This tool is for selecting colour values; it does not need to export a recoloured photograph.
Supported formats
Input: a browser-readable image up to 25 MB. Output: sampled colour values such as HEX and RGB, rather than a colour-managed print specification.
When to use this tool
Sample a displayed image colour for a design or matching task. Choose a representative area rather than a compression edge or highlight.
What to check in the result
A screen sample can vary with colour management, lighting in the original scene and encoding. It is not a calibrated physical paint or print measurement.
Continue with Recolor Image when that step fits your workflow.
A practical example
Sample a background colour to coordinate a border or caption panel.
Capabilities and limitations
A single pixel may differ from a region’s typical colour. Browser decoding and colour handling can affect the sample.
Troubleshooting
If the sampled colour differs from an edge, choose a less anti-aliased interior pixel. Compare the same decoded image rather than a compressed screenshot.
Processing and privacy
Image pixels are processed on your device. Loading the website and processing assets still uses a network connection, and hosting may receive normal request information. Keep original files backed up.
Questions about Image Color Picker
Are HEX and RGB values the same colour?
They are different representations of the sampled RGB colour in this workflow.
Does this give a printer spot colour?
No. Screen pixel sampling does not establish a managed print or spot-colour specification.
