Free Image Color Picker for Photos & Web Design
Pick the exact color of any pixel in a photo, screenshot, logo or mockup and get it in every format you actually need — HEX and RGB for CSS, HSL and HSV for adjusting, CMYK for print, and LAB and OKLCH for color-accurate work. The whole tool runs in your browser on an HTML canvas, so your image is never uploaded to a server.
For photo work
- Pixel loupe — a magnified, unsmoothed view follows your cursor so you can land on the exact pixel.
- Sample averaging — read a single pixel or average a 3×3, 5×5 or 11×11 block, the same options Photoshop's eyedropper offers. Averaging is the right choice on noisy or grainy photos, where one pixel is not representative.
- Zoom up to 6× with pixel-sharp rendering for small details and icons.
- Alpha readout for transparent PNGs.
For web design
- WCAG contrast checking — instant ratios against white, black and any color you choose, with AA / AAA / Fail verdicts, so you know a color is legible before you ship it.
- Nearest Tailwind class — matched in OKLab, so “closest” means closest to the eye rather than closest in raw RGB numbers.
- Tint and shade ramp — an 11-step scale built around your color and blended in OKLab for even steps.
- Color harmonies — complementary, analogous, triadic, split-complementary, tetradic and monochromatic.
- Export your saved swatches as CSS custom properties, or copy every hex at once.
How to Use
- Upload an image, drag one in, or paste a direct image URL.
- Move your cursor over the image — the loupe magnifies it and the values update live.
- Pick a sample size. Use 1×1 for flat graphics and logos, and 3×3 or larger for photographs.
- Click to lock a color. It is saved to your swatches, and the contrast, ramp and harmony panels all update.
- Copy any format with one click, or export all your swatches as CSS.
Supported File Types
Image: PNG, JPG/JPEG, WebP, GIF, BMP, AVIF and SVG — any format your browser can decode.
