How to pick colors from an image?

  1. Upload an image: Click on the "Select Image" button above to open a file picker to select an image from your computer or mobile device. Note: The image you select stays on your device and is never uploaded to our servers.
  2. Pick colors from the image: Move your mouse over the image (or your drag your finger, on mobile), and click on the specific color that you want to select. The current color code will be displayed in a magnifying lens at all times. Repeat this process to pick multiple colors from the image.
  3. Copy color code: Once you have picked the colors that you want, you can copy the color codes by clicking on the "Copy" icon besides the color code on the right. The selected color is shown in 3 common formats: Hex, RGB/RGBA, and HSL/HSLA. You can paste these color codes into your design software or HTML/CSS code.
  4. Download color codes: Click on the Download icon next to the History section to download a file containing all color codes you have selected.
