What this does
This reads the exact pixel colors out of an image you load. It draws the file to a canvas at its natural size, and when you hover, it samples the pixel under the cursor and shows it magnified; clicking copies that pixel's value. It also runs a color quantizer over every pixel to pull out the six most common colors as a palette.
Each color is reported as an uppercase HEX code with matching rgb() and hsl() values. Sampling reads the raw RGB of one pixel, so the result is exact for that point and not an average of the area around it.
How it works
- 1 Drop an image or pick one.
- 2 Hover to magnify, click to sample a pixel, or grab a swatch from the auto palette.
- 3 Copy the HEX value to your clipboard.

Frequently asked
What color values do I get? +
Each color gives you an uppercase HEX code, the matching rgb() values, and an hsl() value. Paste any of them straight into your design tools.
How is the palette extracted? +
The tool sorts every pixel into color buckets and pulls out the six most common ones. You get the dominant colors without clicking around pixel by pixel.
Is the sampled color exact? +
Yes. The image is drawn to a canvas at its full natural resolution, and a pick reads the raw RGB of that single pixel. It is not averaged with neighboring pixels.
What image formats can I open? +
Any format your browser can decode, including PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF, and SVG. Animated GIFs and SVGs are read from their first rendered frame.
How is transparency handled? +
Only the red, green, and blue channels are read, so the alpha channel is ignored. Sampling a fully transparent pixel returns its underlying RGB values, not what shows on screen behind it.
Are my images uploaded anywhere? +
No. The file is decoded and read entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server, and there is no sign-up.
Does it change or save the image? +
No. The picker only reads colors. Your original file is never modified, and there is nothing to download.
