Whether you need to pick a color from an image to match a brand logo, or want to extract an entire color palette from a photo for a new web design, this browser-based utility gives you pixel-perfect precision. Features include a zoom magnifier, closest CSS color name matching, and support for all standard formats (JPG, PNG, WebP). Best of all, because it's built with HTML5 Canvas, your images are never uploaded to our servers, guaranteeing complete privacy and zero lag.
