Pick the pixel, not a resized average
Choose a local image, then tap or click a pixel. Zoom changes its display size without changing which original pixel is sampled. The loupe shows the neighborhood around the selection.
Worked example
In an image with a red left half and blue right half, sampling inside the left half gives #FF0000 and the right half gives #0000FF.
Before you rely on the result
PNG, JPEG and WebP images are decoded locally with their display orientation. Animated images use the first frame. Browser color conversion and transparent pixels can affect the bytes; hidden RGB values in fully transparent pixels are not preserved.
