Pick a color from an image by clicking or tapping the exact point you want to inspect. The tool reads that single pixel and returns its HEX, RGB and HSL values; it does not guess a code from a filename and does not convert a typed HEX code. Use the nearby dominant swatches only as shortcuts.

Why use this tool

  • Click or tap a point and read that sampled pixel as HEX, RGB and HSL.
  • Choose one location manually instead of generating a 3-, 5- or 8-color predominant palette.
  • The complete operation runs locally in your browser without sending image contents or color values to ImageNexo.

How it works

  1. Choose or paste a JPG, PNG or WebP image.
  2. Click or tap the pixel whose color you need.
  3. Copy the selected HEX, RGB or HSL value.

Pixel sampling and displayed color codes

The image preview is drawn to a canvas and the selected preview position is mapped to a pixel. The same sampled red, green and blue channels are then expressed as HEX, RGB and HSL, so the three values describe one color rather than three separate estimates.

For very large images, the browser scales the preview before selection, which can blend neighboring source pixels at the displayed size. Use Extract Color Palette when you need several representative colors from the whole image instead of one selected point.

Frequently asked questions

Are my images uploaded?

No. Processing happens locally in your browser, so your image files never leave your device.

Can I select more than one point?

Yes. Click or tap another position whenever you want to replace the currently selected pixel color.

Is this the same as a HEX to RGB converter?

No. Image Color Picker samples a pixel from an uploaded or pasted image. HEX to RGB starts with a color code that you type.

Does the picker return the color of one pixel?

Yes. Click or tap a point in the preview to select that position and read its HEX, RGB and HSL values.

Why are dominant-color swatches also shown?

They are quick suggestions that can become the selected color. The primary interaction remains choosing one point from the image.

When should I use Extract Color Palette instead?

Use the palette tool when you need several colors that represent the image as a whole rather than a manually selected pixel.

Which files are supported?

The image-based tool accepts JPG, PNG and WebP.
