Is the Color Picker free to use?

Yes, the Color Picker is completely free. No account, subscription, or signup is required — ever.

Does my data get uploaded anywhere?

No. The Color Picker runs entirely in your browser. Your data is never sent to any server.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Once the page has loaded, the tool works without an internet connection.

Which browsers are supported?

All modern browsers — Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. No plugins or extensions required.

How accurate is the colour picker?

The tool reads the exact pixel colour at the clicked coordinates from the full-resolution image using the Canvas API. The result is accurate to the individual pixel — there is no averaging or approximation.

Can I pick colours from PNG images with transparency?

Yes — but the alpha (transparency) channel is not included in the output, only the RGB values of the pixel colour. Fully transparent pixels will show as black (0, 0, 0).

What is the Free Color Picker?

The free Color Picker from Image lets you sample any pixel colour from an uploaded image with a single click.

Each colour you pick is added to a Picked Colours history row of swatches at the bottom, so you can compare multiple picks side by side. Click any value to copy it to clipboard.
