Question 1

Which browsers support the EyeDropper screen picker?

Accepted Answer

The native EyeDropper API is supported in Chromium-based browsers such as Chrome, Edge, Brave and Opera. If your browser does not support it, this tool automatically falls back to a full HSL/HSV color picker so you can still pick and fine-tune any color.

Question 2

Can the EyeDropper pick colors outside the browser tab?

Accepted Answer

Yes. When supported, the EyeDropper lets you sample any pixel visible on your screen, including other browser tabs, applications and image viewers. After you click Pick Color, move the magnifier over any pixel and click to capture it.

Question 3

Is my screen or color data uploaded anywhere?

Accepted Answer

No. Everything runs locally in your browser. The EyeDropper API only returns the single hex color you clicked, and the fallback picker never captures your screen at all. No pixel data is ever sent to a server.

Question 4

What color formats do I get?

Accepted Answer

You instantly get HEX, RGB, HSL, HSV and CMYK values for any picked color, each with a one-click copy button. A history strip keeps the colors you picked during your session.
