How it works
The image is opened by your browser and drawn onto a canvas; nothing is uploaded. Very large images are scaled down to 1,600 pixels on the longest side, which keeps picking fast.
The color you get is the exact pixel under the cursor, so photos can vary a little from one pixel to the next.

Questions
Is my image uploaded anywhere?
No. It's opened and analyzed in your browser and never sent to a server.
Why does the color change slightly as I move?
Photos are made of individual pixels that differ slightly, especially in shadows and textures. Use the magnifier to choose the pixel you want.
Which image types work?
Any image your browser can open, such as JPG, PNG, WebP and GIF, up to 20 MB.
