Is the picked color accurate if the image is displayed smaller than actual size?

Yes. The image is held on a canvas at its native resolution, and your click coordinates are converted from screen position to image pixels before sampling. You always get a real pixel from the original image, not a blended screen pixel.

Why doesn't the color match what the original designer specified?

JPEG compression shifts colors slightly, especially near edges and in detailed regions, and screenshots can pick up OS-level color management. For the most faithful reading, sample from a large flat area of the image, or use a PNG source where the pixels are stored losslessly.

Can I sample an average over an area instead of one pixel?

The tool reads exactly one pixel per click. To approximate an average, click a few nearby points in the region and compare — in a flat-color area they'll agree; in a noisy area the spread tells you the photo doesn't have one true color there.

Does it work on transparent PNGs?

Yes, though the readout is RGB only — clicking a fully transparent area returns the underlying channel values (usually black, rgb(0, 0, 0)) rather than 'transparent', since alpha isn't part of the displayed value.

About Color Picker (from Image)

When you need the exact color from a logo, screenshot, or photograph — to match a brand color in a design, copy a value into CSS, or sample a palette from a reference photo — an eyedropper on the actual pixels is the only reliable method. Convertora's color picker loads your image onto a canvas at its full native resolution; click anywhere on it and the tool reads the precise pixel under your cursor and reports it as HEX, RGB, and HSL, each with its own copy button.

The click position is mapped from the displayed size back to the image's real pixel grid, so the sample is accurate even when a 4000-pixel-wide photo is scaled down to fit your screen. And because the image is decoded and read entirely in your browser, nothing is uploaded — you can pick colors from unreleased design mockups or confidential documents without them leaving your machine.

How to use it

1Upload a JPG, PNG, WebP, or AVIF image (up to 50 MB). It appears full size in a scrollable preview.
2Click any point on the image. The exact pixel at that position is sampled, accounting for any display scaling.
3Read the value as HEX (#RRGGBB), RGB (rgb(r, g, b)), and HSL (hsl(h, s%, l%)), shown next to a live color swatch.
4Click Copy beside whichever notation you need — HEX for design tools, RGB or HSL for CSS.
5Click another point to sample a different color; the readout updates each time.

Common use cases

Recovering a brand's exact colors from a logo file when no style guide is available.
Matching a UI element's color from a screenshot while recreating a design.
Building a color palette from a photograph for a website or presentation theme.
Checking what color a rendered element actually is, compression and gamma included, rather than what the stylesheet claims.

Frequently asked questions

Tips

Zoom your browser (Ctrl/Cmd +) before clicking tiny details like 1-pixel borders — the coordinate mapping stays accurate at any zoom level, and a bigger target is easier to hit.
Sampling colors from text is unreliable because of anti-aliasing — almost every text pixel is a blend of the text and background colors. Sample a thick stroke's center or a solid UI element instead.

100% private — runs in your browser

Convertora processes everything on your device using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Files never leave your browser, are never uploaded to a server, and are never seen by us or anyone else. The moment you close the tab, the data is gone — there is no temporary cloud copy, no log entry, no retained backup.

Because the work happens locally, processing speed depends on your device — but there are no rate limits, no daily caps, and no file size restrictions beyond what your browser can handle in memory. No signup, no account, no payment. The tool works the same in incognito mode, on a corporate network, or after the page has loaded once, even with the network disconnected.
