Frequently Asked Questions

How does the image color picker work?▾
Upload any image (PNG, JPG, GIF, SVG, WebP) and click on any pixel to extract its color. The tool draws your image on an HTML5 canvas and reads the RGBA values at the clicked coordinates using getImageData(). All processing happens in your browser — the image is never uploaded to a server. You get HEX, RGB, and HSL values for every picked color.
How is the color palette extracted automatically?▾
The auto-extraction algorithm samples the image, groups similar colors using a simplified k-means approach, and returns the most prominent colors. It skips very dark/light pixels (near-black and near-white) that are less useful for design. The algorithm aims for perceptually distinct colors that represent the image's color character.
What is the difference between HEX, RGB, and HSL?▾
HEX (#FF5733) is a compact hexadecimal notation used in CSS and design tools. RGB (255, 87, 51) specifies red, green, blue channels from 0-255. HSL (14, 100%, 60%) uses hue (0-360 degrees), saturation (0-100%), and lightness (0-100%). HEX and RGB describe the same thing differently; HSL is more intuitive for adjusting shades (change lightness) or tints (change saturation).
Can I pick colors from a screenshot?▾
Yes. Take a screenshot, then upload it to this tool. On macOS: Cmd+Shift+4 to capture a region. On Windows: Win+Shift+S for Snipping Tool. On Chrome: Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+P → "Capture screenshot". You can also paste from clipboard if your browser supports the Clipboard API (Chrome, Edge).

Yes, completely free with no limits. Your images are processed entirely in your browser using the Canvas API. No data is sent to any server. No account needed. No watermarks.
