Frequently Asked Questions
How do I pick a color from an image?
Upload a JPG, PNG, or WebP image, then click or tap any point on the picture (or use the arrow keys to nudge the cursor). The tool reads that exact pixel and shows its HEX, RGB, and HSL values instantly.
Is this image color picker free to use?
Yes. The picker runs entirely in your browser — there is no sign-up, and you can open and pick colors from your images as you work.
What color formats does the tool show?
For every picked pixel it displays HEX (e.g. #FF5733), RGB, and HSL, each with a one-click copy button so you can paste straight into CSS or design software.
Can it match my color to a traditional palette?
When a picked color is close to a shade in our traditional-color library, we show the nearest match and its origin (Chinese, Japanese, Pantone, or natural), with a link to its full details page.
Does the color picker work on mobile?
Yes. Upload, tap-to-pick, and copy all work with touch and the on-screen keyboard, and the page scrolls normally while you interact with the picture.
