Grab any color from your screen in one keystroke — HEX, RGB and HSL copied to your clipboard. No Digital Color Meter workarounds, no separate app.
Trigger the picker with a hotkey, hover any pixel, click to copy. Faster than opening macOS Digital Color Meter every time.
Colors copy in the format you need — HEX for the web, RGB for design tools, HSL for quick adjustments.
A magnifier loupe shows the exact pixels under your cursor, so you grab the color you mean — not the one next to it.
Snappix bundles the picker with screenshots, annotation and OCR — one app instead of a utility collection.
Press the color picker hotkey (or choose it from the Snappix menu). Your cursor becomes a magnifying loupe.
Move over the color you need. The loupe magnifies the area and shows the live color value under the crosshair.
Click once — the color copies to your clipboard as HEX, ready to paste into CSS, Figma or any design tool.
Need RGB or HSL instead? Re-copy in another format from the same pick — no re-selecting the pixel.
Yes — macOS ships the Digital Color Meter app (in /Applications/Utilities). It reads colors under your cursor, but it's a separate app with clunky export options. Snappix adds a one-keystroke picker with HEX/RGB/HSL output and a magnifier, built into the capture workflow.
The fastest way is Snappix: press the picker hotkey, hover the color, click — the HEX code is on your clipboard. Digital Color Meter can also display hex values (View → Display in RGB, then use 'Copy as hex'), but it takes several steps per pick.
Yes — the magnifier loupe shows individual pixels so you pick exactly the one you mean, and values are read at screen precision. For color-managed print workflows, verify against your calibrated source as with any screen picker.
Snappix includes the color picker in its free trial alongside screenshots, OCR and recording — no separate utility needed. Free standalone alternatives exist, but they add menu-bar clutter for a task Snappix already covers.
Snappix bundles the color picker with capture, annotation, OCR and screen recording — one free trial for your whole visual workflow.
