HEX CODE
Built With Care
“Palette extraction downsamples the image to a 160px maximum dimension and quantizes pixel colors into coarse RGB buckets, then ranks them by frequency to find the five dominant tones. Clicking a pixel reads its exact value through getImageData and converts it to a hex code.”
Image Color Picker & Converter
Upload an image and click any pixel to get its exact hex color code. The tool also extracts a five-color palette by analyzing the image's dominant tones with the Canvas API. Everything runs locally in your browser, with no uploads.

- 4Review the extracted palette for the five most frequent colors in the photo.
- 5Click any palette swatch to copy its hex code to the clipboard.
- 6Use Copy HEX to save the active color for your project.

- Highly compressed or very small images can produce a palette with less variety.
- 1Click the exact pixel you need rather than relying on the palette approximation.
