About Color Picker from Image

Color Picker from Image is a free server-side tool that extracts color data from any uploaded image. Upload a photo, screenshot, or graphic and the tool immediately returns the 5–10 most dominant colors using Imagick color quantization. Click anywhere on the image preview to sample that exact pixel and get its HEX, RGB, and HSL values. All processing runs on the server — no client-side canvas required — which means the tool handles large files and non-canvas-renderable formats like HEIC and AVIF that browser-based tools cannot process.

The dominant color palette uses server-side quantization to reduce the uploaded image to its most prominent hues. Each swatch is clickable and loads that color into the inspector without another server call. The “Copy all HEX codes” button outputs a comma-separated list of all dominant colors — ready to paste into a color palette tool, CSS file, or design token sheet.

Common use cases

  • Extract a brand color palette from a logo or marketing image.
  • Identify the exact HEX code of a color in a screenshot or photo.
  • Get RGB values from a product photo for a canvas drawing API or image library.
  • Find the dominant colors of a website screenshot for design audit work.
  • Copy a color from an inspiration image directly into CSS or a Figma fill field.

Frequently asked questions

What is a color picker from image?

A color picker from image is a tool that extracts HEX, RGB, and HSL color codes from any uploaded image. You can click any pixel in the preview to get its exact color values, or let the tool automatically extract the most dominant colors using server-side quantization.

Which image formats are supported?

JPG, PNG, WEBP, AVIF, HEIC, BMP, TIFF, and GIF are supported. SVG is not supported because SVG files require rendering before pixel sampling. The 20 MB upload limit applies to all formats.

How does the dominant color extraction work?

The tool uses server-side Imagick color quantization to reduce the uploaded image to its most prominent hues. The image is scaled down to a working size, quantized to up to 10 color clusters, and the clusters are sorted by how many pixels they represent. This produces a palette of the colors that actually dominate the image, not just the most saturated or brightest ones.

Can I pick a color from a specific spot?

Yes. After uploading, click anywhere on the image preview and the tool samples that exact pixel on the server. The HEX, RGB, and HSL values update immediately. A small circular marker shows the last picked location.

Is my image stored on the server?

The image is held temporarily for the duration of your session (up to 2 hours) to enable click-to-pick without re-uploading. It is deleted automatically after that. No images are retained for analysis, training, or any other purpose.
