Color Identifier

Color Picker On Image

Tap a spot on any photo and grab its color and codes instantly.

Tap a spot, get the color

Working over a finished picture, you often just want to drop a marker on one spot and learn its color. As a color picker on image, Color Identifier does exactly that: open From Photo, load the shot, and tap directly on the area you care about to read its color like an eyedropper.

How it works

  1. Open Color Identifier and choose From Photo.
  2. Load the picture or screenshot you want to work over.
  3. Tap the spot on the image to sample it.
  4. Read the Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone codes.

A color picker on image is most useful when you can move freely across the picture — tap one area, then another, comparing shades without reloading anything.

Where it fits

Keep every color you tap

Each spot you sample can be saved into a palette, so a single image can seed a whole color set. Organize palettes by project, then export or share so the colors you tapped on the image flow into your other tools. It’s free to download, with your first scans free, so the next image you open can become a source of codes.

Frequently asked questions

How do I use a color picker on an image?

Open From Photo, load any picture, and tap the spot on the image. Color Identifier returns that color's Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone.

Can I tap several spots on one image?

Yes. Tap different spots across the same picture and save each color to a palette as you work.

Does the source photo matter?

Any photo or screenshot in your library works — the clearer the area you tap, the cleaner the reading.
