Color Picker

Free online color picker for designers and developers: pick from your screen (EyeDropper in Chromium), sample any pixel from an uploaded image, edit in HSV or RGB with alpha, copy hex, RGBA, HSL, ARGB, eight-digit hex, and approximate CMYK — plus saved swatches, tint/shade strips, contrast preview, and a detachable window. Everything runs in your browser; nothing is sent to our servers.

Pick and mode

Screen EyeDropper needs a Chromium-based browser (Chrome, Edge, Opera). On Safari/Firefox, upload an image and click to sample.

Upload image

After a screen pick, the opaque RGB is copied as 6-digit hex (#rrggbb) — alpha from the sample is not pasted.

Hex

Type a value or use the swatch to open your browser's color picker.

What does this Color Picker do?

Dynamic Duniya’s Color Picker is a free, privacy-first utility for capturing and refining colors without installing software. Use it when you need a hex code from a logo, want to match a UI screenshot, tune HSV for a gradient, or export several CSS-friendly formats (including RGBA and eight-digit hex) from one place. Processing stays in your tab — we do not upload your images or screen samples to our servers.

Pick colors from the screen or an image

On Chromium-based browsers (Chrome, Edge, Opera, Brave), the Screen EyeDropper API lets you read a pixel from anything visible on your monitor — useful for matching brand colors in a PDF, Figma export, or live site. In Safari, Firefox, and other engines without EyeDropper, upload a PNG, JPG, or WebP and click the decoded canvas; the tool samples the exact pixel under your cursor.

Simple mode vs Advanced mode

  • Simple mode focuses on fast iteration: system color dialog, hex field with parsing, and the large live swatch beside your workspace card.
  • Advanced mode adds the saturation/value plane, vertical hue strip, numeric H, S, V, R, G, B, and alpha fields, multi-row format copy (hex, #RRGGBBAA, ARGB, rgb/rgba, hsl, hsv, approximate CMYK), tint and shade strips, saved colors, temporary swatches, and a contrast preview for text on a background.

Detach into a second window (like DevTools)

On large screens, use “Detach Color Picker” to open the same tool in a dedicated browser window so you can keep your design reference or IDE on one monitor and the picker on another. The detached route hides the global site header and footer for a clean workspace; your current color and mode sync over session storage for the first paint.

Who can use it (GEO & language)

The tool is served over HTTPS and runs entirely client-side, so teams in India, the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, and anywhere else with a modern browser get the same experience — no region-locked downloads. The interface is English-first today; keyboard and screen-reader labels follow standard input semantics for sliders, numeric fields, and copy buttons.

Formats, swatches, and accessibility

  1. Copy the exact string you need for CSS, Android ARGB, or eight-digit hex without retyping channels.
  2. Save frequently used brand colors to local storage, or stage temporary swatches while exploring a palette.
  3. Use the contrast preview as a quick WCAG-style sanity check before committing text and background pairs — it is illustrative, not a legal compliance certificate.

Accuracy, CMYK, and privacy

Screen picks reflect OS color management and browser compositing; for mission-critical print work, validate with calibrated hardware and ICC-aware apps. CMYK here is a mathematical approximation from RGB for screen workflows — not a substitute for press profiles. Saved swatches and mode preferences live in your browser only; clearing site data removes them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which browsers support picking from the screen?

The EyeDropper API works in Chromium-based browsers. If your browser does not expose it, upload an image and sample pixels from the canvas instead.

Are picked colors always exact?

Screen samples depend on GPU output, HDR settings, and color profiles. Image samples match the decoded bitmap. For legal or print-critical matches, cross-check with hardware calibration.

Why does CMYK differ from my printer output?

Values here are a generic RGB→CMYK transform, not tied to your paper, ink, or press ICC profile. Use dedicated prepress software for separations you will plate.

Does the detached window send data to your servers?

No. Detach opens another page on the same origin; color and mode are copied via session storage for launch only. All math and canvas work stay local.

Can I use this Color Picker on mobile?

Yes, but EyeDropper support is limited on mobile browsers. Image upload and manual entry work well; the detachable window is optimized for desktop pop-out workflows.

Where are saved colors stored?

In your browser’s local storage for this site. They are not synced to an account and are removed if you clear site data.

Is this tool free for users in India and the US?

Yes. Dynamic Duniya offers this Color Picker at no charge worldwide; JSON-LD marks the offer price as zero in USD for structured data consistency.

What is the difference between HSV and HSL?

Both describe hue differently from RGB. This picker’s plane uses HSV (hue, saturation, value/brightness), which many designers prefer for selecting vibrant colors; HSL strings are still generated for CSS workflows that expect lightness instead of value.

Image Compression

New

Compress JPEG, PNG, WebP, or GIF on the server (up to 10 MB per file). Drag-and-drop or browse, set quality 1–100 and optional max width in pixels (scales down only; default 1920). See before/after byte sizes when meta is returned, then download the compressed image.

Image Resize

New

Resize or reframe JPEG, PNG, WebP, or GIF entirely in your browser: set target width and height, optionally lock aspect ratio, then choose how pixels map—Fit (letterbox on white), Cover (center crop to fill), or Stretch. Export as JPEG, PNG, or WebP with a quality slider for lossy formats. Decoding and canvas work stay on your device (no upload). Animated GIFs flatten when exporting to static formats.

Image Format Converter (JPG / PNG / WebP)

New

Convert JPEG, PNG, WebP, or GIF sources to JPEG, PNG, or WebP in your browser: live preview updates as you switch format, quality slider for lossy JPEG and WebP, lossless PNG (no quality control). Decoding and encoding stay on your device—no upload. GIF sources decode to a static frame; animation is not preserved in the output file.

Rotate & Flip Image

New

Rotate JPEG, PNG, WebP, or GIF photos in 90° steps (90°, 180°, −90°), flip horizontally or vertically, combine transforms, reset to original, and preview on canvas—all in your browser. Download keeps PNG/WebP as those types and uses JPEG for other extensions (including GIF sources). Live PNG preview; no upload. GIF animation is not preserved on export.

Add Text to Image

New

Overlay a single line of text on JPEG, PNG, WebP, or GIF photos entirely in your browser: edit the caption, font size (8–200px), fill color, horizontal and vertical position (0–100%), and optional dark stroke for contrast. Live preview; download as PNG, JPEG, or WebP with a quality slider for lossy formats. Canvas rendering stays local—no upload. GIF animation is not preserved when exporting.

Image Background Remover

New

Cut out subjects in your browser with the IMG.LY ONNX + WASM segmentation model (ISNet quantized): first visit downloads WASM and model weights from their CDN (~tens of MB, then cached). Long edges above 2048px are scaled down before inference; max file size 8MB for stability. Export transparent PNG with checkerboard preview. Your pixels are not uploaded to Dynamic Duniya—only model assets load from the vendor CDN.
