ColorZilla

Overview

ColorZilla is a browser extension for Chrome and Firefox that provides advanced color-picking and analysis tools directly in your web browser. It includes an eyedropper, color picker, color analyzer, and a powerful online gradient generator with CSS export capabilities.

The extension helps designers, developers, and anyone working with web colors extract and analyze colors from any webpage, then convert those selections into production-ready CSS gradients. The Ultimate Gradient Generator component offers Photoshop-like editing controls for creating and exporting gradient code.

How It Works

Install ColorZilla as a Chrome or Firefox extension. Click the extension icon to activate the eyedropper, hover over any color on the page, and the tool captures the exact color value.
