Frequently Asked Questions

How do I pick a color from my image?▼
Upload your image by dragging it in, pasting with Ctrl+V, or clicking to browse. Then hover over any part of the image to preview the color at that pixel — the HEX value appears in a tooltip. Click to lock that color as your selection.
What color formats are shown?▼
HEX (e.g. #FF5733), RGB (e.g. rgb(255, 87, 51)), and HSL (e.g. hsl(11, 100%, 60%)). Click any format card to copy it to your clipboard instantly.
How does the palette extraction work?▼
The tool samples pixels across your image, quantizes them into color buckets, and picks the 12 most frequent colors that are visually distinct from each other. This gives you the dominant colors in your image.
Are my images uploaded to a server?▼
No. Everything runs locally in your browser using the HTML Canvas API. Your images are never sent to any server.
Can I paste an image directly from my clipboard?▼
Yes. Press Ctrl+V (or Cmd+V on Mac) anywhere on the page to paste a screenshot or copied image directly — no need to save it to a file first.
