Click anywhere on a photo to pick that exact pixel's colour code.
Click anywhere on the photo below to pick that pixel's colour
The Color Picker From Image tool lets you click any single point on an uploaded photo to instantly read off the exact hex and RGB colour value of that pixel. Unlike the Color Palette Extractor, which summarises the dominant colours across an entire photo, this tool is built for picking one precise colour from one exact spot.
Your photo is drawn onto a hidden canvas at its full resolution, and whenever you click on the visible preview, the tool converts that click position into the matching pixel coordinate on the canvas and reads its colour value directly from the canvas's pixel data using the getImageData method, then displays the resulting hex and RGB values immediately.
Designers pick an exact colour from a client's logo photo to match it precisely in a new design file. Developers sample a colour from a screenshot or mockup to reuse exactly in CSS code. Artists and hobbyists identify the precise shade used in a reference photo before mixing paint or choosing digital brush colours.
Zooming or viewing the photo at a larger size before clicking makes it easier to land precisely on the exact pixel you intend, especially for small or detailed areas. Photos with noise, compression artefacts or grain can cause neighbouring pixels to vary slightly in colour, so sampling a few nearby points can help you judge the true intended colour of an area. Once you have a hex code you like, you can paste it straight into most design tools, CSS files or the Image Watermark tool's colour field.
It shows exactly one colour value at a time, taken from the precise pixel you click, unlike the Palette Extractor which analyses the whole image at once.
Yes, the displayed hex code can be copied with one click and pasted straight into design software, code editors or other tools on this site.
Photos often contain fine noise or compression artefacts, so neighbouring pixels can differ slightly even within what looks like one solid colour area.
Yes, and clicking on a fully transparent area will report that the pixel has no opacity rather than a solid colour.
