Live picker
One click turns your cursor into a system-wide eyedropper: sample any visible pixel in any app, on any monitor. Zero permissions required.
No install · No permissions · 100% local
Pick a color from anywhere on your screen
Your IDE, a video, a design file, a PDF, a second monitor — if a pixel is visible, you can grab its color, even outside the browser window.
Copy on click
History
Picked colors are stored here (locally only) — click one to copy it again.
Three ways to pick
One tool that covers every browser.
Screenshot picker
Freeze a frame of any tab, window or screen, then pick at your own pace with a 10× magnifier. Works in Firefox and Safari too.
Mini picker window
Pop out a tiny window with just a pick button and the result, so nothing covers what you are sampling outside the browser.

FAQ
Why doesn't the live picker work in Firefox or Safari?
Firefox and Safari have not implemented the live picker. On those browsers use the screenshot picker — it is built on the universally supported getDisplayMedia API (Chrome 72+, Firefox 66+, Safari 13+).
What is the mini picker window for?
When sampling colors outside the browser, the main window can cover your target. The mini window is a tiny popup you can park in a corner of the screen — just a pick button and the result. Colors picked there sync back to the main window history in real time.
Is my color data uploaded anywhere?
No. Picking, conversion and history all happen locally in your browser (localStorage); no network request ever carries your data. The site itself is fully static and open source.
