How to use Convert an Image to Hex Codes
- 1. Upload the image. Drop in a small image, since the output lists one hex code per pixel and large photos would produce an enormous amount of text.
- 2. Read the dumped pixel grid. The tool prints the image dimensions followed by each row of pixels as #rrggbb hex codes, arranged so the layout mirrors the original pixel grid.
- 3. Copy the hex output. Copy the full text of hex codes to paste into a spreadsheet, a script, or anywhere you need the exact color of every pixel represented as text.
When to use Convert an Image to Hex Codes
Convert an Image to Hex Codes dumps every pixel of a small image as a #rrggbb hex color code arranged in its original grid layout. It is for extracting exact per-pixel color data as plain text rather than viewing the image visually.
- Feeding pixel data into code. A generative art script needs the exact hex color of each pixel in a tiny reference image to reproduce or manipulate it programmatically instead of loading image files at runtime.
- Verifying an icon's exact colors. A designer needs to confirm the precise hex values used in a small icon before matching them in a style guide, rather than sampling colors manually with a picker tool.
- Reconstructing pixel art from text. A tiny sprite or pixel-art image needs to be represented as plain text so it can be version-controlled, diffed or embedded directly in source code as a lookup table.

About the Convert an Image to Hex Codes tool
Convert an Image to Hex Codes runs as plain JavaScript in your browser tab, with no server behind it. Dump every pixel of an image as a #rrggbb hex color code. Whatever you put in stays on your device from start to finish.
The tool is part of EditSafely's Image Tools section, 200 single-purpose utilities built around the same idea: open the page, get the result, keep your data to yourself.
There is nothing to configure. Provide the input and the result appears on its own. A worked example further down the page shows exactly what the tool produces for a real input.
That local-first design has practical benefits beyond privacy. The tool keeps working on a flaky connection once the page has loaded, results are instant because nothing round-trips to a server, and it is safe to use with confidential material.
