Color Picker from Image

Extract colors from any image — hover to sample, click to collect.

The Color Picker from Image samples colors directly from any image: upload a photo or graphic, hover to preview the exact color under your cursor, and click to lock colors into a palette with copyable hex values.

Extracting colors from images is how designers build palettes from inspiration — the exact blue in a photograph, the accent color in a logo, the skin-tone ranges in a portrait. The eyedropper works on a preview canvas with the image's real pixels, so sampled colors are exact.

Everything runs locally: the image is loaded into a canvas in your browser and never uploaded. Collect up to eight colors per session and copy them as hex codes for your palette.

Move your cursor over the image to preview colors; click to lock a color into your palette below. All processing is local.

Frequently asked questions

How accurate is the color sampling?

Pixel-exact — the tool reads the actual pixel under your cursor from the source image rendered on a canvas. JPEG compression artifacts can shift colors slightly from the original file; PNG/WebP sampling is lossless.

Can I extract a palette automatically?

This tool is a manual eyedropper. For automatic dominant-color extraction, pair it with the Color Palette Generator using sampled seeds.

Is my image uploaded?

No — the image is read with the browser's file API and drawn to a local canvas. Nothing is transmitted; close the page and the image is gone.
