Frequently asked questions

Why is a color slightly different from what I expected?

Photos contain noise and shading, so neighboring pixels differ. Use the magnifier to pick a typical pixel, or take one of the suggested main colors.

Can I pick colors from a screenshot of a website?

Yes. Paste the screenshot with Ctrl+V and click the element; the exact value is read from the pixels.

Is it free?

Yes. Browser tools on PhotoTools are free, unlimited and work without an account.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. This tool runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Your images never leave your device, and nothing is stored.
