How to use Find Pixels in JPG
- 1. Upload your JPG. Drop the photo you want to search into the input pane. The tool scans every pixel to compare it against the color you specify.
- 2. Pick the color to find. Use the Color to find swatch to choose a target color, such as #ff0000, and set Tolerance (%) to control how close a pixel's color must be to count as a match.
- 3. Review the highlighted preview. Look at the rendered preview where every matching pixel is highlighted, letting you see at a glance how much of the photo falls within your chosen color and tolerance.
When to use Find Pixels in JPG
Find Pixels in JPG scans a photo for every pixel matching a chosen color within a tolerance, then highlights the matches in a preview. It is for whenever you need to know how much of an image is a specific color, or exactly where that color appears.
- Checking chroma key coverage. A photo shot against a green or blue background needs its screen color checked for consistency, and highlighting matches at a chosen tolerance reveals uneven lighting or gaps in the backdrop.
- Locating a specific colored object. You want to find every occurrence of a particular color, like a red logo or a colored marker, scattered across a busy photo, and the highlight preview points to each instance.
- Auditing brand color usage in a photo. A marketing photo is checked against a brand's exact hex color to confirm how much of the shot actually contains that color at an acceptable tolerance.
Examples
Highlight red pixels
Input
photo.jpg + color #ff0000
Output
photo.jpg preview with all reddish pixels highlighted
