How it works
- Choose an image. Pick any photo or graphic; it is drawn in your browser, not uploaded.
- Hover and click. Move over the image to preview colours in the loupe, then click to pick one.
- Copy the value. Copy the HEX or RGB, or reuse a colour from the recent swatches strip.
About this tool
Pull the exact colour out of any image without uploading it. Choose a picture and it is drawn onto a canvas right in your browser; move the cursor over it and a magnified loupe shows the pixels under your pointer, with the live HEX and RGB value beside it. Click to lock a colour in, copy the HEX or RGB in one tap, and build up a strip of recent swatches as you sample. Because everything happens on your device via the canvas, the image is never sent anywhere. Advanced options add an HSL readout and a 5×5 averaging mode that smooths over noisy or compressed images so you sample the colour you actually mean.
What people use it for
- Match a brand colour from a logo or screenshot
- Sample a palette from a photo for a design
- Grab the exact HEX of a pixel for CSS
- Check colours across a mockup without leaving the browser

Instead of reading one pixel it averages a 5×5 block around the cursor, which evens out JPEG noise and dithering so you get the colour the area represents.
They live only in the page while it is open — a quick strip of the colours you have picked, each click-to-copy. Nothing is stored or sent.
