Frequently Asked Questions
How do I sample colors with absolute pixel-level accuracy?
Sometimes mouse tracking can be slightly jittery. Simply hover near your target, click to lock the eyedropper, and then use the keyboard arrow keys to nudge the coordinate left, right, up, or down by exactly 1 pixel at a time.
Does the eyedropper support alpha transparency channel color picking?
Yes. If you upload a transparent PNG, the canvas element reads the underlying raw RGBA channel bytes. Transparent pixels will display transparent backgrounds and alpha-aware values.
Are my high-resolution photos safe?
Yes, all pixel sampling queries execute locally in your browser memory sandboxed workspace. No upload bandwith is consumed, and your images never leave your local hardware.
