Which image formats can I sample?

The picker accepts JPG, PNG and WebP files. It checks the file signature as well as the name, so a renamed non-image file is not treated as a valid picture.

Does zoom change the color being sampled?

No. Zoom changes only the viewing scale. Pointer coordinates are mapped back to the original image pixels, and the color is read from the source image data.

Can I inspect very small details in a screenshot?

Yes. Switch from Fit to custom zoom and enlarge the image up to 800%. The scrollable sampling area lets you reach pixels outside the visible portion.

Is my uploaded image sent anywhere?

No. File validation, decoding, pixel sampling and color conversion all take place locally in the browser. The temporary image URL is released when the image is removed.

Frequently asked questions

About Image Color Picker

A visual color may be easy to recognize but difficult to reproduce exactly. Image Color Picker reads a specific source pixel instead of estimating from a thumbnail, making it suitable for recovering brand colors, matching interface screenshots or identifying tones in digital artwork.

Fit mode provides a complete overview, while magnification up to 800% helps isolate fine edges and single-pixel details. Clicking or dragging reports both the original pixel coordinates and four color notations, so the sampled result can move directly into design software or CSS.

The tool deliberately supports browser-decodable JPG, PNG and WebP images and verifies their signatures before use. Processing stays on the device; the selected picture and sampled values are not uploaded.
