New Magnifying Glass
The original ColorSnapper magnifying glass – introduced in 2010 and adopted by every modern color picker app since then – just got even better!
It works with multiple displays, different resolutions and with different pixel density. You can switch between Spaces and Applications having the magnifying glass on the screen.
-
Introducing Hi-Precision Mode
Allows to choose every physical pixel on a retina screen, but also works great on displays with normal pixel density by increasing mouse sensitivity and magnification level.
-
Control with gestures & keyboard
Zoom in & out, change diameter, cycle through formats or move pixel by pixel using gestures and keyboard shortcuts.
Organize, adjust & export colors with style
ColorSnapper 2 is designed for macOS and supports both light and dark appearances.
-
Favorites & History
Mark colors you regularly pick as favorites or go back in time to hundreds of colors.
-
Modify colors
The new user interface seamlessly integrates with Apple’s Color Panel so you can adjust colors before you export them.
-
Quick formats filter
Start typing to quickly search through more than 30 export formats.
Match your coding style
ColorSnapper 2 allows you to match the color export format to your coding style. Along with all new supported formats, including Generic, CSS, NSColor, UIColor, Swift, Android, Java, .NET, CGColor, and OpenGL this results in even faster developer workflow.
Accurate color values
The new color picker automatically converts colors picked from native OS X applications, including Safari and Xcode from your monitor’s color profile to sRGB. This means, you’ll get the same 1 RGB values as those used in your code.2
1 There may be small conversion differences when picking colors from monitors with a smaller color space than sRGB.
2 Non-native applications and applications that are not using the Cocoa framework are not affected by conversion issues.
