Image Color Picker
100% PrivateImage ToolsPick any pixel in an uploaded image and get its exact color as HEX, RGB and HSL.
Runs entirely in your browser. Your input is not uploaded to Ovatly or anywhere else.
- 1Choose the image; it is drawn at full resolution.
- 2Move over the image to preview the pixel under your pointer in the magnifier and readout.
- 3Click or tap to save that color to your picked list.
- 4Copy any saved HEX value with one click and reuse it in your design tool or CSS.
Point at a pixel of pure red in an image and the readout shows #FF0000, rgb(255, 0, 0) and hsl(0, 100%, 50%). Point at a mid grey and you get equal channels, for example #808080 with rgb(128, 128, 128) and hsl(0, 0%, 50%).
- Colors are read from the image's own pixels at full resolution, not from the scaled preview, so values are exact.
- JPEG photos rarely contain one flat color; neighboring pixels vary a little from compression, so sample a few spots in flat areas.
- Semi-transparent pixels report their stored RGB plus an opacity note; the color you see on a web page also depends on what is behind it.
It is the literal pixel value stored in the file, converted with the standard formulas. What can differ is your screen: two monitors may render the same HEX slightly differently.
About this tool
The Image Color Picker reads the exact color of any pixel in an uploaded image and reports it as HEX, RGB and HSL, with a magnifier so you can land on the precise pixel. Designers use it to lift brand colors from a logo, match a product photo, or sample a shade from a screenshot.
