How to Use Color Pickers and Image Adjustments for Better Web Design

Extracting the Perfect Palette

Often in web design, you need to build a color palette around a hero image. Instead of guessing, a Color Picker tool allows you to hover over the image and extract the exact HEX and RGB values of specific pixels.

Quick Adjustments Without Photoshop

Sometimes an image is just a little too dark, or lacks contrast, but opening a heavy desktop application like Photoshop is overkill. Browser-based image adjustments allow you to tweak brightness, contrast, blur, and grayscale instantly.

Creating Background Assets

A common web design technique is placing white text over a background image. To ensure the text is readable, the background image needs to be darkened or blurred. Using our Image Utilities, you can apply a blur and lower the brightness, then download the perfectly adjusted asset ready for your website.
