Color Picker From Image

Our Color Picker From Image online tool makes it easy to extract precise color codes from any digital image with just a few clicks.

Simply select or paste an image and click anywhere to get the name and code for that exact shade of color. The images are never uploaded or stored anywhere; the color picker runs entirely in your browser.

Our image color picker also automatically generates a palette of prominent colors from the image and shows them below the image. By default, 8 colors are shown, but you can increase it up to 24 or decrease it down to 3.

Pick Hex/RGB/HSL/CMYK colors from any image

To use the Color Picker From Image tool, follow these steps:

1. Click the "Browse" button above to select an image file from your computer or device.
2. Alternatively, you can drag and drop an image file directly onto the page.
3. If you have an image copied to your clipboard, you can paste it by pressing Control+V (Windows, Linux) or Command+V (Mac).
4. Note that the image stays on your computer and is never sent to a server. The tool runs entirely in your browser.
5. Once the image is loaded, you can click anywhere on the image to select a specific color from a pixel in the image.
6. The tool will display the selected color along with its name and its hexadecimal, RGB, HSL, and CMYK color code in the sidebar.
7. Each color code has a copy button next to it, so you can easily copy the code to your clipboard.
8. When you click on the image, the sidebar will also show a zoomed-in view of the selected area, allowing you to more precisely select the color you want.
9. The color names and their color codes can be used in web design, graphic design, or any other software that uses color codes.
10. You can also export all the colors you've selected in 8 different formats.
11. To move the pointer more accurately, we support keyboard navigation - press the arrow keys ↑, ↓, ←, → to move the pointer around by one pixel and press Enter to select the color.
12. You can also hold the Control or Alt key while pressing the arrow keys to move the pointer by 10 pixels at a time.
