About Pixolor - Live Color Picker

Pixolor is a circle floating over your apps showing a zoomed view of the underlying pixels, including color information and coordinates of the central pixel.

This app is mainly for designers to know technical pixel-level information. It is also useful for people with poor eyesight who want to effortlessly zoom in on parts of the screen (e.g. to read text more easily).

Requires Android Lollipop (5.0) or higher.

Note: For Xiaomi (MIUI) devices, please enable the overlay permission in the app's system settings.

Your iPhone friends will be jealous when they realise this technology is not possible on their devices :)

Benefits:

★ Know the color code (RGB) or coordinates (DIP) of any pixel on the screen
★ Know the size (DIPs) of any region of the screen - before you release the circle you will see the x/y distance dragged
★ Know the nearest Material Design Color to the focus color
★ Study pixel arrangement
★ Share screenshot or circular image to another app (e.g. send by email) - long press on thumbnail
★ Enlarge hard-to-read text. Very handy for those with not so perfect eyesight
★ Generate color palette from latest screenshot or latest circular zoomed section
★ Share a cropped area of the screen - focus overlay on one corner, then drag overlay to opposite corner. You will see thumbnail of the dragged region in the main screen. Long-press to share the image!

Other features:

★ Pinch-to-zoom
★ Fine panning using two fingers (thereafter, free to release a finger)
★ Tap outside circle (bottom-left or top-right) to copy color RGB to clipboard
★ Quick Settings Tile to toggle on/off
★ Hue Wheel color picker
★ Notification allowing you to: hide/show overlay; quit application; share latest color code with other apps

Please note: this app shows ads after an initial ad-free period. You have the option to disable ads by making a small one-time in-app payment. Thank you for your support.

Privacy:

★ Pixolor takes a single screenshot each time you place your finger on the circle. This is indicated by the brief appearance of the Chromecast status bar icon. When the Chromecast icon is not visible, you can be sure no app is reading the screen.
★ Captured screenshot data is never sent (in full or part) from your device or made available outside of the app. The only exception to this is when you explicitly share the image (long-press on thumbnail), in which case it will be shared in the way you request.

Here is a list of known unsupported devices (they are unable to capture screen contents properly):
* Any device running pre-Lollipop (5.0)
* Cm_Micromax Canvas A104 (HOL-U19) userdebug 5.1.1 LMY48W
* Huawei P8 (GRA-L09) (5.0)
* Samsung Galaxy S3 (m0) (5.1)
* Samsung Galaxy S2 (CM 12.1) (5.1.1)

Bug fixes and additional support are always good, but I liked the old notification styling way more. Not being able to access the quick settings without the notification being expanded is a step back in my opinion.

I like this app but for some reason the past week I couldn't tap the "START NOW" button. Is it a bug maybe? I don't know but would love if you can fix it somehow. Edit: Changed from 4 stars to 5. Thanks I didn't know, that blue light screen filter app blocks the use of this app.

Honestly one of my most used apps, I have become SO FOCUSED on colors now ever since using it to theme my home screen. I love it and would highly recommend it to everyone. It's a lifesaver!

This is by far the best resource as a designer on the app market, even up against Adobe's programs. I LOVE the functionality, and was happy to buy the full version to use all the features. Awesome!

Cool

W70%
by W####:

Can it read RGB? It displays hex OK, but not RGB. It would be good if it displayed both without having to convert HEX to RGB. Maybe you could do that sometime in the future?

D70%
by D####:

will give Full stars if support RGB

U70%
by U####:

Finally got it to work properly on my Android One G1 phone. It seems there's a bit of optimization needed to get the picker to quickly get the color upon first touching the screen. But overall this is a great app and it's an essential one for web designers like myself.

T70%
by T####:

OMG YES. I've been looking for an app that does exactly like this for a long time. Tonight I was even poking around considering trying to build it. I'm very thankful I found Pixolor which does its job beautifully. Especially love the Material palette integration.
