Color Image Picker
Use Color Image Picker, review the result, and keep the original until the output is checked.
How to use Color Image Picker
- Select Image, or paste a URL, to load the picture you want to sample.
- Click anywhere on the image to read that pixel; use Upload New Image to switch source.
- Switch the copy format between HEX, RGB, HSL, CMYK, XYZ, LAB, LUV and HWB depending on what your tool asks for.
- Build a palette by sampling several points before you leave the page - the swatches reset with the image.
What Color Image Picker actually does to your file
Colours are sampled from decoded pixels, so a JPEG with compression ringing near an edge can read a shade off the original. CMYK, XYZ, LAB and LUV are converted from sRGB on this page rather than read from an embedded profile, so a print-ready CMYK value should still be confirmed in your DTP software.
Color Image Picker FAQ
What does Color Image Picker do?
Upload an image or input a URL to extract HEX, RGB & HSL codes instantly. Free online image color picker with spectrum and sampler tools.
Which files work with Color Image Picker?
This category commonly supports JPG, PNG, WEBP, GIF, BMP, and SVG. Use the accepted file types shown in the uploader, because support varies by browser and by the engine behind each tool.
Why does the copied colour look different elsewhere?
Sampling reads the pixels as saved, not as a managed colour. Different colour profiles, transparency and monitor calibration all shift what you end up seeing.
Will my original file be changed?
No. The work is done on a copy in this tab by the canvas and the codecs built into your browser, and the result arrives as a separate download, so your original is still there if you need it.
How is my file processed?
It is not uploaded. The processing is done locally by the canvas and the codecs built into your browser, so the practical ceiling is your device's memory and the limit shown beside the uploader - no queue, no account, no copy on a server.
Is the Color Image Picker free?
Yes. The Color Image Picker is free with no trial limit, subscription, or watermark on downloads. You can use it for personal and commercial projects without creating an account.
