How do I pick colors from an image?

Upload an image, then click anywhere on it to extract the color at that exact pixel. The tool captures the pixel color and instantly converts it to HEX, RGB, HSL, and CMYK formats. Use the magnifier preview to see exactly which pixel you're selecting.

Can I zoom in for precise color picking?

Yes, use the zoom slider or scroll wheel to zoom in up to 5x magnification. A magnifier preview in the corner shows an 8x8 pixel grid around your cursor for pixel-perfect color selection. You can also pan by dragging when zoomed in.

How many colors can I save to my palette?

You can save up to 20 colors in your palette. Each color is stored with all format conversions (HEX, RGB, HSL, CMYK) and can be copied individually. Click any saved color to copy its value, or export the entire palette.

What export formats are available for my palette?

Export your color palette as JSON (complete data), CSS variables (:root format), SCSS variables ($color format), or Tailwind config (colors object). All formats are ready to paste directly into your projects without modification.

Is my image uploaded to a server?

No, all processing happens locally in your browser using the Canvas API. Your images never leave your device, making this tool completely private and secure for any type of image including confidential or sensitive content.
