FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

How do I pick a color from an image?

Upload an image, then move your cursor over it to preview colors with the zoom magnifier. Click any spot to grab that pixel's color. The tool instantly shows HEX, RGB, HSL, HSB, and CMYK values, and you can copy any format with one tap.

Is my image uploaded to a server when I pick colors?

No. This color picker runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript and the HTML canvas. Your image is read locally on your own device and never sent anywhere. There is no upload, no signup, and no account, so your files stay completely private.

Can I get the exact HEX and RGB code for a pixel?

Yes. Each color you pick is shown as HEX, RGB, HSL, HSB, and CMYK at the same time. Switch between 1px exact sampling for a single pixel or 5x5 average mode to smooth out noise, then click any value to copy it.

Does the color picker work offline?

Yes. Because all processing happens in your browser, the tool works after the page loads even without an internet connection. You can grab colors, copy values, save recent colors, and export a palette PNG without sending any data online. It is free with no signup required.
