Image Color Picker & Pixel Coordinates Online Free
Move over an image to read exact X/Y pixel coordinates and HEX/RGB color values, click to lock a sample and copy the color.
What this tool does
Move over an image to read exact X/Y pixel coordinates and HEX/RGB color values, click to lock a sample and copy the color.
People often describe this task with phrases such as image color picker, pixel color picker, hex color from image and rgb picker image. This page uses those terms only where they refer to the same underlying function.
How to use the Image Color Picker & Pixel Coordinates
- Open the Image Color Picker & Pixel Coordinates page and select or enter the source data required by the tool.
- Review the available controls instead of accepting defaults blindly when the destination has a size, format, layout or compatibility requirement.
- Run the operation and inspect the preview, status or generated result before treating it as final.
- Download or copy HEX, RGB, X/Y coordinates and verify it in the destination application, browser, viewer or workflow that will actually use it.
Use the interactive tool above for the actual operation. The documentation below explains what the controls mean, what changes in the file/data, and how to troubleshoot common results.
Settings and capabilities explained
| # | Control or capability |
|---|---|
| 1 | Image selection |
| 2 | Live X/Y coordinates |
| 3 | HEX value |
| 4 | RGB value |
| 5 | Click to lock |
| 6 | Copy color |
Supported input and output
- Input: one image
- Output: pixel coordinates and HEX/RGB values
How it works technically
Raster image operations work on decoded pixel data. Dimensions, alpha transparency, color representation and encoder settings can all affect the result independently.
Raster coordinates identify a single pixel in the decoded image. HEX and RGB are two representations of the same red/green/blue channel values.
Displayed colors can differ perceptually across color-managed displays even when numeric RGB values match.
Common use cases
- Sample a UI color from a screenshot
- Find the exact pixel coordinate of an object
- Copy a HEX color for CSS
- Inspect anti-aliased edge colors
Choosing the right settings
- Zoom the source beforehand when you need to pick a tiny feature.
- Sample several nearby pixels around anti-aliased edges because edge colors are blended.
Common problems and fixes
The picked edge color is not the solid color I expected
Anti-aliasing blends boundary pixels with neighboring colors; move slightly inside the solid region.
Browser processing and privacy notes
The source code for this build performs the documented file transformation or analysis from browser JavaScript/Web APIs, and the video tools load FFmpeg.wasm for media processing. The site also contains third-party analytics, font/CDN and advertising scripts that can make ordinary network requests. Therefore, the precise claim made here is limited to the tool routine: it does not need a separate AutoClip file-upload API in order to perform the documented local operation.
For sensitive files, you should still use your browser’s developer tools or network controls if you need to independently verify the behavior of every third-party request in your environment.
Frequently asked questions
What does the Image Color Picker & Pixel Coordinates do?
Move over an image to read exact X/Y pixel coordinates and HEX/RGB color values, click to lock a sample and copy the color.
What input and output does it use?
Input: one image Output: pixel coordinates and HEX/RGB values Outputs include HEX, RGB, X/Y coordinates.
Do I need to install desktop software?
No desktop installation is required for this page. The interactive workflow runs from the web browser. Some advanced media features load browser-side JavaScript/WebAssembly libraries when needed.
Are selected files processed through the tool interface?
Yes. The implementation reads selected files with browser APIs and performs the documented transformation or analysis in the page. External libraries, analytics and advertising scripts may make their own network requests, so this statement is about the file-processing routine itself.
The picked edge color is not the solid color I expected?
Anti-aliasing blends boundary pixels with neighboring colors; move slightly inside the solid region.
