Pick a colour from an image online
Click anywhere on an image to read the exact colour at that pixel — as a hex code and an RGB value, shown instantly and ready to paste into CSS, a design tool, or anywhere else that needs it.
This reads the literal pixel value, not a guess or an average of the area around it, so what you see is exactly what that one point in the image is.
Your image never leaves your device. Sampling runs entirely in your browser, so nothing is uploaded, stored, or scanned.

Frequently asked questions
Is my image uploaded anywhere?
No. Sampling runs in your browser using JavaScript, so your file stays on your device. You can confirm this by opening your browser devtools Network tab while working — there are no upload requests.
Does it average nearby pixels, like a zoomed eyedropper?
No — it reads the single pixel you clicked, exactly as stored in the file. On a photo with a lot of fine detail or noise, that means two very close clicks can return noticeably different values; that is the image itself, not an inconsistency in the tool.
Can I pick a colour without a mouse?
The control is a real button, so Tab reaches it and Enter activates it — activating it this way samples the centre of the image, since a keyboard press has no click position of its own to read.
Why do I need to download anything if the value already shows on screen?
You don't, for a one-off value — the on-screen result is the whole point. The download exists for a record you can keep or hand to someone else, in case you need the value again later.
Does JPG compression affect the colour I get?
It can, slightly. JPG is lossy, so a pixel's stored colour is already a small approximation of whatever the original camera or design captured, especially right at a sharp edge between two colours. For an exact colour match, a lossless source (PNG or the original design file) is more reliable than a JPG export.
