Upload an image and click any pixel to capture exact color values.
Color Picker From Image is a free, browser-based tool that extracts exact HEX and RGB color values from any pixel in an uploaded photo. No login or software installation is needed -- simply upload, click, and copy the color code you need.
Color Picker From Image lets you upload any photograph or graphic and pinpoint exact colors at the pixel level. Hover over or click any spot on the image to reveal its hexadecimal and RGB color values instantly. The tool displays a live swatch preview alongside copyable code strings, so designers, developers, and content creators can capture brand colors, match UI palettes, or identify tones from reference imagery without guesswork or eyedropper browser extensions.
Upload a JPG, PNG, or WEBP image using the file input. The image is drawn onto an HTML canvas entirely within your browser, so nothing is sent to a server. Click any pixel on the rendered image to capture its color. The picked color appears as a swatch alongside read-only HEX and RGB output fields. Use the dedicated copy buttons to send either value straight to your clipboard, ready to paste into CSS, design tools, or documentation.
Yes. Screenshots are one of the most common use cases for this tool. Capture a screenshot of any website, app, or design reference using your operating system's screenshot function — on Windows use Win+Shift+S or PrtSc, on Mac use Cmd+Shift+4, on mobile use the device's screenshot button — and upload the resulting PNG or JPG file directly to the color picker. Click on any element in the screenshot to extract its exact HEX or RGB color value. This technique is widely used by designers matching a competitor's color scheme, developers replicating a UI mockup, and content creators aligning their graphics with a reference brand identity. Screenshots from high-DPI displays will have doubled pixel dimensions but otherwise work identically to any other image file.
Both HEX and RGB codes represent the same color information using different notation formats. RGB (Red, Green, Blue) expresses each color channel as a number from 0 to 255, for example rgb(58, 123, 213). HEX notation encodes the same three channels as a six-character hexadecimal string preceded by a hash symbol, for example #3A7BD5. The first two characters of the HEX code represent the red channel, the middle two represent green, and the last two represent blue, each converted from decimal (0–255) to hexadecimal (00–FF). HEX codes are the standard in web CSS and HTML. RGB values are commonly used in image editing software like Photoshop, Figma, and Canva where manual entry of channel values is more intuitive. Both are accurate representations of the same color and this tool provides both for maximum compatibility with different workflows.
Yes. All image processing in the Color Picker From Image tool happens entirely within your browser using the HTML canvas API. Your image files are never uploaded to Popupnote.com's servers or transmitted over the network. The pixel color reading function accesses the canvas data locally on your device. No images, color values, or usage data are logged or shared. You can use screenshots of confidential designs, proprietary brand assets, or internal product images without any data exposure risk.
