How it works
The browser decodes the image with visual orientation applied, draws it to one pixel-addressable canvas, and maps pointer coordinates through the preview scale to the canvas pixel grid. The selected pixel is read without compositing it against a background.
Limits and assumptions
JPEG, PNG, and static WebP are supported. Animated images, SVG, HEIC, and AVIF are outside this tool. JPEG has no alpha channel and compression may alter source colors. Preview resolution is capped for safe browser memory use.
