Image Color Picker
Open an image and click or tap any point to read the exact colour of that pixel — HEX, RGB, HSL, HSV and alpha — with its X/Y position and a magnified view. Fine-tune with the arrow keys. The image never leaves your device.

About Image Color Picker
Image Color Picker reads the exact colour of a single pixel in a PNG, JPG or WebP image. Click or tap anywhere on the picture, or type X and Y coordinates, and it shows that pixel’s HEX, RGB, HSL and HSV values, its alpha (transparency) and a ready-to-paste CSS colour, with a magnified view of the surrounding pixels.
Matching a brand colour from a logo, checking a UI screenshot or sampling a photo for a palette needs the actual stored pixel value, not an approximation. Sampling at full resolution, with one-pixel keyboard steps, gives you a precise reading without installing an editor or uploading the image.
Step by step
- Drop a PNG, JPG or WebP image onto the upload area, or click it to browse.
- Click or tap the point you want to sample; the centre pixel is shown first.
- Use the magnified 11 × 11 view to check you are on the right pixel, then nudge it with the arrow keys (Shift + arrow moves 10 px).
- Or type exact X and Y values and press Apply.
- Copy the HEX, RGB, HSL or CSS colour, or download a text summary that includes your recent colours.
What it offers
- Exact pixel sampling at the image’s full resolution, even when the preview is scaled
- HEX (with alpha digits when needed), RGB, HSL, HSV, alpha and CSS colour
- Magnified 11 × 11 pixel preview with the selected pixel outlined
- Arrow-key movement by 1 px, Shift + arrow by 10 px, clamped to the image edges
- Manual X/Y coordinate entry
- Recent colours for this page only — never saved
- Signature and structure checks that reject renamed, SVG, GIF, PDF and damaged files
Tips for best results
- Sample PNG or WebP originals when you need exact brand colours — JPEG compression shifts colours slightly.
- Check the magnified view: anti-aliased edges often contain blended colours.
- For transparent areas, read the alpha value as well as the RGB values.
- Remember that values are not colour-managed, so they can differ slightly from professional editors.
