Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find the HEX color code of a pixel in an image?

Upload your image to Picy's Image Color Picker, hover over the desired area, and click. The exact 6-character HEX code (e.g. #3B82F6) along with RGB and HSL values will appear on screen ready to copy.

How does the palette generator extract dominant colors?

Picy analyzes the color histogram and spatial distribution across the image canvas to group visually prominent pixel clusters into a clean, 8-color design palette.

Can I use this tool on my smartphone?

Yes. The Color Picker is touch-optimized. Simply tap any part of the image on your phone or tablet to inspect its color codes.

Are my photos uploaded to any server?

No. All image loading and pixel extraction are performed strictly in your web browser's local memory. Your images are 100% private.

Can I copy color values directly into Figma or CSS?

Yes! Clicking any HEX, RGB, or HSL code immediately copies it to your clipboard for instant pasting into CSS stylesheets, Tailwind config, Figma, or Photoshop.
