What this workspace does
An exact sampled pixel color and coordinate.
Image Inspector · browser local
Pick an exact color from an image
Click or tap the local image preview to sample a pixel. Copy the result as HEX, RGB, HSL, or OKLCH without sending a screenshot to a color service.
Use it accurately
The loupe uses the decoded image pixels, not a compressed page preview.
Private browser processing
Selected files are processed in the current browser session. Aftermath has no account, cloud file storage, or server-side file-processing job.
What this tool checks
Pick a color from one local image when you need its pixel coordinate together with HEX, RGB, HSL, and OKLCH values. The result reflects the sampled pixel in the browser's decoded image, not a calibrated physical-color measurement. Use a color-managed design or print workflow when exact appearance across devices or materials matters.
What to choose and what you get
What to choose
- one supported local image
Result
- a sampled color with pixel coordinates and HEX, RGB, HSL, and OKLCH values
Supported formats
- Accepted formats: JPG, PNG, WebP.
- Output formats: HTML report.
Browser support and permissions
- Modern browser with JavaScript, a supported image decoder, and enough memory for the selected image.
- No camera, microphone, or screen permission is needed.
Worked example
A designer needs the exact rendered color of one pixel in a local screenshot for a CSS token.
Starting facts
- The screenshot can be decoded by the browser.
- A single sampled pixel may differ from a visually blended region.
Observed operation: Open the image, zoom if needed and select the target pixel to read coordinates plus HEX, RGB, HSL and OKLCH values.
Review the result: Copy the preferred color notation and sample nearby pixels when antialiasing or gradients may affect the result.
Boundary: The sampled decoded pixel does not identify an original design token, color profile intent or printed appearance.
Check your result
- The loupe uses the decoded image pixels, not a compressed page preview.
Things to know
- Review the result on the intended device before relying on it.
Privacy boundary
The selected image stays in the current browser session and is not sent to an Aftermath processing service. How local processing is verified.
What this tool verifies
Checks the displayed limits and reports or creates a sampled color with pixel coordinates and HEX, RGB, HSL, and OKLCH values from one supported local image.
Check before sharing
A local measurement or export does not guarantee acceptance by an external destination.
