Frequently Asked Questions
How do I pick a colour from an image for free?
Add your image, hover over it to read the pixel colour, and click to save it. Click any HEX, RGB or HSL value to copy it — free, no signup, no watermark.
What colour formats do I get?
For every pixel you get HEX, RGB and HSL, and the automatic palette gives HEX for each dominant colour. Any of them copies with one click.
How is the palette created?
The tool samples the whole image, groups similar colours together and shows the most common ones as a dominant palette — a quick way to build a scheme from a photo.
Is it accurate to the exact pixel?
Yes. The colour is read directly from the pixel under your cursor, so it's the true value in the image (subject to the image's own compression).
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. Everything happens inside your browser, so your image never leaves your device — completely private.
Can I save several colours?
Yes. Click as many colours as you like and they're kept in a saved list you can copy from or remove individually.

Does it work on phones?
Yes, in any modern browser on Windows, Mac, Android or iPhone with nothing to install.
