What is Image Color Extractor?

Image Color Extractor lets you hover over any part of an image and instantly see the exact color at that pixel. Click to lock the color and copy it as HEX, RGB, or HSL. A color history panel stores up to 12 picked colors for easy reference —useful for designers, developers, and anyone who needs to match colors from photos or screenshots.

How to Use Image Color Extractor

  1. Upload any image by clicking the drop zone or dragging a file onto it.
  2. Move your mouse over the image to see a live color preview in the floating badge and side panel.
  3. Click anywhere on the image to pick that color and save it to history.
  4. Use the Copy buttons to copy HEX, RGB, or HSL values to your clipboard.
  5. Click any swatch in the history panel to restore that color to the main display.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is my image uploaded to a server?

No. All processing happens entirely in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API. Your image never leaves your device.

How accurate are the extracted color values?

The values are pixel-accurate —the tool reads the exact RGBA values of the pixel under your cursor using the Canvas getImageData API, then converts them to HEX, RGB, and HSL mathematically.

How is this different from a palette extractor?

A palette extractor automatically samples dominant colors from an image. This tool lets you manually click any specific pixel to get its exact color, giving you precise control over which color you extract.

What format does the copy button use?

Each format is copied as a ready-to-use string: HEX copies as #RRGGBB, RGB copies as rgb(R, G, B), and HSL copies as hsl(H, S%, L%).
