Image color picker FAQ

Is my image uploaded?+

No. The picker processes the image locally in your browser.

Does zooming change the picked color?+

No. Coordinates always map back to the original source pixels.

How are transparent pixels handled?+

You can ignore fully transparent pixels or composite them against a chosen background.

Can I average a region instead of one pixel?+

Yes. Choose square or circular average sampling, or use median sampling to reduce noise.

Which formats are supported?+

JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, HEIC/HEIF, GIF, TIFF, BMP, and safe SVG files are supported when the browser can decode them.

Can I export the palette?+

Yes. Export CSS, SCSS, Tailwind, GPL, DTCG, CSV, text, or JSON.
