Zoom into your image for pixel-accurate sampling on fine details, logos, and gradients.
Automatically detects the 6 most dominant colors in your image using color quantization.
Your image is processed entirely in your browser — nothing is ever uploaded to a server.
See WCAG contrast ratios for your picked color against common backgrounds immediately.
Every sampled color is saved in your session history so you never lose a color you liked.
Trusted by designers and developers extracting colors every day.
I needed the exact color from a tiny logo detail and the magnifier loupe made it effortless — pixel-perfect every time. No other free tool has this level of precision.
Client screenshots are sensitive, so I love that this processes everything in-browser with no upload to a server. Fast, private, and the auto palette extraction saves real time.
I upload my photography and get an instant curated palette to use for editing presets and Instagram branding. The extracted colors genuinely match the mood of each shot.
The instant contrast check against the picked color is a lifesaver — I know immediately if a color from a client's photo will work as text before I even start designing.
I use this constantly to match colors from reference art and mood boards. The pick history means I don't lose a color even if I've sampled a dozen in one session.
Upload your image to Color Picker Web's Image Color Picker, then click anywhere on the image. The exact HEX, RGB, and HSL code of that pixel appears instantly, along with a copy button — no software installation needed.
Yes — Color Picker Web's Image Color Picker is completely free. Upload any JPG, PNG, WEBP, or GIF, click to sample individual pixels, or use the automatic palette extraction to get the image's dominant colors in one click.
With Color Picker Web, no — your image is processed entirely inside your browser using the Canvas API. It is never uploaded to a server, making it safe for confidential client work and private photos.
After uploading your image, scroll to the Auto-Extracted Palette section — it automatically analyzes your image using color quantization and displays the 6 most dominant colors, ready to copy or send to the Palette Generator for refinement.
Yes. Use the zoom slider above the image to magnify it, and hover to see a live magnifier loupe showing exactly which pixel you're about to sample — ideal for small details like logos, icons, or thin lines.
An image color picker is a tool that lets you upload a photo or graphic and click anywhere on it to extract the exact color code of that pixel — in HEX, RGB, HSL, and other formats. It's used by designers to match brand colors from reference materials, developers to extract UI colors from mockup screenshots, and artists to sample colors from photography.
Color Picker Web's Image Color Picker supports all common web image formats: JPG/JPEG, PNG (including transparency), WEBP, and GIF (first frame). There is no file size limit enforced by the tool, though very large images may take a moment longer to render.
No. The entire color-picking process happens client-side using the HTML5 Canvas API. Your image data never leaves your device or gets sent to any server — closing or refreshing the tab clears it completely with nothing retained.
As you hover or drag over the image, a circular magnified preview appears showing a zoomed-in view of the pixels around your cursor, with a crosshair marking the exact pixel that will be sampled on click. This makes it possible to pick precise colors even from very small image details.
The tool samples pixels across your image at regular intervals and groups similar colors together using a color quantization algorithm, then returns the most visually dominant and distinct colors as your palette — typically the 6 colors that best represent the image's overall color scheme.
Yes — once you pick a color, the Accessibility Check section automatically shows WCAG contrast ratios between your picked color and common backgrounds (white, black, and grays), with pass/fail indicators for AA and AAA text compliance.
Minor differences can occur due to image compression artifacts (especially in JPG files), color profile differences (sRGB vs Adobe RGB), or anti-aliasing at edges between colors. For the most accurate results, zoom in and sample from the center of a solid color area rather than near an edge or gradient.
Yes — screenshots work exactly like any other image. This is commonly used to extract exact colors from a competitor's website, a design mockup, or a brand's existing marketing material for accurate color matching.
