Identify colors from gallery photos

Choose an image from your Android gallery and tap the exact spot you want to inspect. ColorSnap converts that point into readable color details, making it useful for screenshots, product photos, artwork, mood boards, interiors, and brand references.

Use camera images for real-world colors

When a color appears in the real world, capture it with the camera and use ColorSnap to inspect it later. The app gives you HEX, RGB, HSL and CMYK values, plus a helpful color name so the result is easier to describe and reuse.

Offline color detection and palettes

ColorSnap is designed for offline use, so color detection can stay fast and privacy-friendly. You can identify a single color or extract a useful palette from a photo for a larger design direction.

Palette extraction

One Photo, a Whole Palette

A picture usually holds more than one shade worth keeping. ColorSnap pulls out a set you can copy, save and reuse, which is often how a design direction actually begins.
