Can it pick colors from outside the browser?

If your browser supports the EyeDropper API, you can often pick colors from anywhere on your screen.

Are the colors accurate?

Yes, we read the raw color data directly from the image pixels as rendered by your browser.

Is my image uploaded to a server to pick colors?

No. The tool reads pixel data directly from your image using the Canvas API in your browser. Nothing is sent to any server — your image stays on your device.

What color formats does this tool output?

The color picker displays the selected color in HEX (e.g. #FF5733), RGB (e.g. rgb(255, 87, 51)), and HSL formats simultaneously so you can copy whichever you need.

Can I pick multiple colors from the same image?

Yes. You can click multiple pixels across your image to build a palette of picked colors. Each click adds a new color swatch you can reference or copy.

Can I copy the color code directly to my clipboard?

Yes. After clicking a pixel on the image to sample its color, the tool displays the color in HEX, RGB, and HSL formats. A copy button next to each value lets you copy it directly to your clipboard with one click. The sampled color swatch is also displayed so you can visually confirm the selection. This workflow is useful for brand color extraction, matching colors from a photo reference, or building a palette from a design mockup — all processed entirely in your browser.

Local processing

Our local file, text and chart tools process content on your device using JavaScript, browser APIs and, where needed, WebAssembly. Our usage events do not include filenames, file contents, input text, chart values, raw errors, emails or license references. Network lookup tools (such as DNS, WHOIS, IP and speed tests) contact external services for their stated purpose. Loading the website, fonts, libraries and models also makes network requests. WebAssembly itself does not prevent network access.
