Color Identifier

Image To Color Picker

Turn any photo into a color picker by tapping the shade you want.

Turn a picture into a working picker

A photo is full of colors, but a flat image will not hand you their codes on its own. Color Identifier bridges that gap — it takes any image to color picker results in one tap. Load the picture, touch the shade you want, and the app reads exactly what is under your finger, the way a desktop eyedropper would.

From image to color picker in four steps

  1. Open Color Identifier and choose From Photo.
  2. Select the image you want to sample.
  3. Tap the precise point — zoom in for small details.
  4. Read the color name plus its Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone codes.

Going from image to color picker this way means you sample the real pixel, not a rough eyeball of the overall tone.

Good sources, and keeping the colors

Almost any picture works as a source: inspiration shots saved from around the web, screenshots of designs, logos, or social posts, and your own photos of rooms, products, and objects. Once a color is read, save it so it stays put. Collect several from one image into a palette, then export or share the codes wherever you need them. Because the codes are universal, a color you pick out today reads the same in any tool you bring it to next.

Frequently asked questions

How do I go from an image to color picker results?

Load the image in Color Identifier's From Photo mode and tap the spot you want. The app turns that point into a color reading with Hex, RGB, CMYK and Pantone codes.

What kinds of images work?

Any image in your photo library — camera photos, screenshots, and saved downloads all work as the source for the picker.

Can I pick more than one color from the same image?

Yes. Tap several points across the image to capture multiple colors, then save them into a single palette.
