Tested in November 2026. Pixel picking, HEX, RGB and HSL values, the saved list and transparent pixels were tested with generated images.
How to pick a colour from an image
- Drop an image into the box.
- Move your mouse over the picture. A magnifier shows the pixels under the pointer. On a phone, touch and drag.
- Click or tap to pick the colour. Its HEX, RGB and HSL values appear on the right.
- Use the Copy buttons to copy a value. Picked colours are saved in a list.
- Use Copy all HEX codes to copy the whole list, or click the cross on a colour to remove it.
Tips for better results
- Zoom your screen or use a larger image to pick small details exactly.
- Pick from a flat area. Edges and photos with noise give slightly different pixels.
- Use HEX for websites, RGB for most design tools and HSL when you want to adjust lightness.
- In browsers that support it, use Pick from anywhere on screen to take a colour from outside the page.
Limits to know about
- The colour shown is the pixel stored in the file. Screens and colour profiles can make it look a little different.
- Transparent pixels cannot be picked.
- The screen picker button appears only in browsers that support it, such as recent Chrome and Edge.
- To get a full set of dominant colours at once, use the Color Palette Extractor on this site.
