How do I get the color of a pixel in a UIImage with Swift?

Question

I'm trying to get the color of a pixel in a UIImage with Swift, but it seems to always return 0. Here is the code, translated from @Minas' answer on this thread:

func getPixelColor(pos: CGPoint) -> UIColor {
    var pixelData = CGDataProviderCopyData(CGImageGetDataProvider(self.CGImage))
    var data: UnsafePointer<UInt8> = CFDataGetBytePtr(pixelData)

    var pixelInfo: Int = ((Int(self.size.width) * Int(pos.y)) + Int(pos.x)) * 4

    var r = CGFloat(data[pixelInfo])
    var g = CGFloat(data[pixelInfo+1])
    var b = CGFloat(data[pixelInfo+2])
    var a = CGFloat(data[pixelInfo+3])

    return UIColor(red: r, green: g, blue: b, alpha: a)
}

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

A bit of searching leads me here since I was facing the similar problem. You code works fine. The problem might be raised from your image.

Code:

  //On the top of your swift 
  extension UIImage {
      func getPixelColor(pos: CGPoint) -> UIColor {

          let pixelData = CGDataProviderCopyData(CGImageGetDataProvider(self.CGImage))
          let data: UnsafePointer<UInt8> = CFDataGetBytePtr(pixelData)

          let pixelInfo: Int = ((Int(self.size.width) * Int(pos.y)) + Int(pos.x)) * 4

          let r = CGFloat(data[pixelInfo]) / CGFloat(255.0)
          let g = CGFloat(data[pixelInfo+1]) / CGFloat(255.0)
          let b = CGFloat(data[pixelInfo+2]) / CGFloat(255.0)
          let a = CGFloat(data[pixelInfo+3]) / CGFloat(255.0)

          return UIColor(red: r, green: g, blue: b, alpha: a)
      }  
  }

What happens is this method will pick the pixel colour from the image's CGImage. So make sure you are picking from the right image. eg If you UIImage is 200x200, but the original image file from Imgaes.xcassets or wherever it came from, is 400x400, and you are picking point (100,100), you are actually picking the point on the upper left section of the image, instead of middle.

Two Solutions:
1, Use image from Imgaes.xcassets, and only put one @1x image in 1x field. Leave the @2x, @3x blank. Make sure you know the image size, and pick a point that is within the range.

//Make sure only 1x image is set
let image : UIImage = UIImage(named:"imageName") 
//Make sure point is within the image
let color : UIColor = image.getPixelColor(CGPointMake(xValue, yValue)) 

2, Scale you CGPoint up/down the proportion to match the UIImage. eg let point = CGPoint(100,100) in the example above,

let xCoordinate : Float = Float(point.x) * (400.0/200.0)
let yCoordinate : Float = Float(point.y) * (400.0/200.0) 
let newCoordinate : CGPoint = CGPointMake(CGFloat(xCoordinate), CGFloat(yCoordinate))
let image : UIImage = largeImage
let color : UIColor = image.getPixelColor(CGPointMake(xValue, yValue)) 

I've only tested the first method, and I am using it to get a colour off a colour palette. Both should work. Happy coding :)

SWIFT 3, XCODE 8 Tested and working

extension UIImage {
    func getPixelColor(pos: CGPoint) -> UIColor {

        let pixelData = self.cgImage!.dataProvider!.data
        let data: UnsafePointer<UInt8> = CFDataGetBytePtr(pixelData)

        let pixelInfo: Int = ((Int(self.size.width) * Int(pos.y)) + Int(pos.x)) * 4

        let r = CGFloat(data[pixelInfo]) / CGFloat(255.0)
        let g = CGFloat(data[pixelInfo+1]) / CGFloat(255.0)
        let b = CGFloat(data[pixelInfo+2]) / CGFloat(255.0)
        let a = CGFloat(data[pixelInfo+3]) / CGFloat(255.0)

        return UIColor(red: r, green: g, blue: b, alpha: a)
    }

}

Answer 3

If you are calling the answered question more than once, than you should not use the function on every pixel, because you are recreating the same set of data. If you want all of the colors in an image, do something more like this:

func findColors(_ image: UIImage) -> [UIColor] {
    let pixelsWide = Int(image.size.width)
    let pixelsHigh = Int(image.size.height)

    guard let pixelData = image.cgImage?.dataProvider?.data else { return [] }
    let data: UnsafePointer<UInt8> = CFDataGetBytePtr(pixelData)

    var imageColors: [UIColor] = []
    for x in 0..<pixelsWide {
        for y in 0..<pixelsHigh {
            let point = CGPoint(x: x, y: y)
            let pixelInfo: Int = ((pixelsWide * Int(point.y)) + Int(point.x)) * 4
            let color = UIColor(red: CGFloat(data[pixelInfo]) / 255.0,
                                green: CGFloat(data[pixelInfo + 1]) / 255.0,
                                blue: CGFloat(data[pixelInfo + 2]) / 255.0,
                                alpha: CGFloat(data[pixelInfo + 3]) / 255.0)
            imageColors.append(color)
        }
    }
    return imageColors
}

Here is an Example Project

As a side note, this function is significantly faster than the accepted answer, but it gives a less defined result.. I just put the UIImageView in the sourceView parameter.

func getPixelColorAtPoint(point: CGPoint, sourceView: UIView) -> UIColor {
    let pixel = UnsafeMutablePointer<CUnsignedChar>.allocate(capacity: 4)
    let colorSpace = CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceRGB()
    let bitmapInfo = CGBitmapInfo(rawValue: CGImageAlphaInfo.premultipliedLast.rawValue)
    let context = CGContext(data: pixel, width: 1, height: 1, bitsPerComponent: 8, bytesPerRow: 4, space: colorSpace, bitmapInfo: bitmapInfo.rawValue)

    context!.translateBy(x: -point.x, y: -point.y)

    sourceView.layer.render(in: context!)
    let color: UIColor = UIColor(red: CGFloat(pixel[0])/255.0,
                                 green: CGFloat(pixel[1])/255.0,
                                 blue: CGFloat(pixel[2])/255.0,
                                 alpha: CGFloat(pixel[3])/255.0)
    pixel.deallocate(capacity: 4)
    return color
}

Answer 4

I was getting swapped colors for red and blue. The original function also did not account for the actual bytes per row and bytes per pixel. I also avoid unwrapping optionals whenever possible. Here's an updated function.

import UIKit

extension UIImage {
    /// Get the pixel color at a point in the image
    func pixelColor(atLocation point: CGPoint) -> UIColor? {
        guard let cgImage = cgImage, let pixelData = cgImage.dataProvider?.data else { return nil }

        let data: UnsafePointer<UInt8> = CFDataGetBytePtr(pixelData)

        let bytesPerPixel = cgImage.bitsPerPixel / 8

        let pixelInfo: Int = ((cgImage.bytesPerRow * Int(point.y)) + (Int(point.x) * bytesPerPixel))

        let b = CGFloat(data[pixelInfo]) / CGFloat(255.0)
        let g = CGFloat(data[pixelInfo+1]) / CGFloat(255.0)
        let r = CGFloat(data[pixelInfo+2]) / CGFloat(255.0)
        let a = CGFloat(data[pixelInfo+3]) / CGFloat(255.0)

        return UIColor(red: r, green: g, blue: b, alpha: a)
    }
}

Swift3 (IOS 10.3)

Important: - This will works only for @1x image.

Request: -

if you have solution for @2x and @3x images please share. Thank you :)

extension UIImage {

    func getPixelColor(atLocation location: CGPoint, withFrameSize size: CGSize) -> UIColor {
        let x: CGFloat = (self.size.width) * location.x / size.width
        let y: CGFloat = (self.size.height) * location.y / size.height

        let pixelPoint: CGPoint = CGPoint(x: x, y: y)

        let pixelData = self.cgImage!.dataProvider!.data
        let data: UnsafePointer<UInt8> = CFDataGetBytePtr(pixelData)

        let pixelIndex: Int = ((Int(self.size.width) * Int(pixelPoint.y)) + Int(pixelPoint.x)) * 4

        let r = CGFloat(data[pixelIndex]) / CGFloat(255.0)
        let g = CGFloat(data[pixelIndex+1]) / CGFloat(255.0)
        let b = CGFloat(data[pixelIndex+2]) / CGFloat(255.0)
        let a = CGFloat(data[pixelIndex+3]) / CGFloat(255.0)

        return UIColor(red: r, green: g, blue: b, alpha: a)
    }

}

Usage

print(yourImageView.image!.getPixelColor(atLocation: location, withFrameSize: yourImageView.frame.size))

You can use tapGestureRecognizer for location.

Answer 6

Your code works fine for me, as an extension to UIImage. How are your testing your colour? here's my example:

    let green = UIImage(named: "green.png")
    let topLeft = CGPoint(x: 0, y: 0)

    // Use your extension
    let greenColour = green.getPixelColor(topLeft)

    // Dump RGBA values
    var redval: CGFloat = 0
    var greenval: CGFloat = 0
    var blueval: CGFloat = 0
    var alphaval: CGFloat = 0
    greenColour.getRed(&redval, green: &greenval, blue: &blueval, alpha: &alphaval)
    println("Green is r: \(redval) g: \(greenval) b: \(blueval) a: \(alphaval)")

This prints:

    Green is r: 0.0 g: 1.0 b: 1.0 a: 1.0

...which is correct, given that my image is a solid green square.

(What do you mean by "it always seems to return 0"? You don't happen to be testing on a black pixel, do you?)

Answer 7

Im getting backwards colours in terms of R and B being swapped, not sure why this I thought the order was RGBA.

func testGeneratedColorImage() {

    let color = UIColor(red: 0.5, green: 0, blue: 1, alpha: 1)
    let size = CGSize(width: 10, height: 10)
    let image = UIImage.image(fromColor: color, size: size)

    XCTAssert(image.size == size)

    XCTAssertNotNil(image.cgImage)

    XCTAssertNotNil(image.cgImage!.dataProvider)

    let pixelData = image.cgImage!.dataProvider!.data
    let data: UnsafePointer<UInt8> = CFDataGetBytePtr(pixelData)

    let position = CGPoint(x: 1, y: 1)
    let pixelInfo: Int = ((Int(size.width) * Int(position.y)) + Int(position.x)) * 4

    let r = CGFloat(data[pixelInfo]) / CGFloat(255.0)
    let g = CGFloat(data[pixelInfo+1]) / CGFloat(255.0)
    let b = CGFloat(data[pixelInfo+2]) / CGFloat(255.0)
    let a = CGFloat(data[pixelInfo+3]) / CGFloat(255.0)

    let testColor = UIColor(red: r, green: g, blue: b, alpha: a)

    XCTAssert(testColor == color, "Colour: \(testColor) does not match: \(color)")
}

Where color looks like this:

image looks like this:

and testColor looks like:

(I can understand that the blue value might be off a little bit and be 0.502 with floating point inaccuracy)

With the code switched to:

    let b = CGFloat(data[pixelInfo]) / CGFloat(255.0)
    let g = CGFloat(data[pixelInfo+1]) / CGFloat(255.0)
    let r = CGFloat(data[pixelInfo+2]) / CGFloat(255.0)
    let a = CGFloat(data[pixelInfo+3]) / CGFloat(255.0)

I get testColor as:

Answer 8

I think you need to divide each component by 255:

var r = CGFloat(data[pixelInfo]) / CGFloat(255.0)
var g = CGFloat(data[pixelInfo + 1]) / CGFloat(255.0)
var b = CGFloat(data[pixelInfo + 2]) / CGFloat(255.0)
var a = CGFloat(data[pixelInfo + 3]) / CGFloat(255.0)

Answer 9

I was trying to find the colors of all four corners of an image and was getting unexpected results, including UIColor.clear .

The issue is that the pixels start at 0, so requesting a pixel at the width of the image would actually wrap back around and give me the first pixel of the second row.

For example, the top right pixel of a 640 x 480 image would actually be x: 639, y: 0 , and the bottom right pixel would be x: 639, y: 479 .

Here's my implementation of the UIImage extension with this adjustment:

func getPixelColor(pos: CGPoint) -> UIColor {

    guard let cgImage = cgImage, let pixelData = cgImage.dataProvider?.data else { return UIColor.clear }
    let data: UnsafePointer<UInt8> = CFDataGetBytePtr(pixelData)

    let bytesPerPixel = cgImage.bitsPerPixel / 8
    // adjust the pixels to constrain to be within the width/height of the image
    let y = pos.y > 0 ? pos.y - 1 : 0
    let x = pos.x > 0 ? pos.x - 1 : 0
    let pixelInfo = ((Int(self.size.width) * Int(y)) + Int(x)) * bytesPerPixel

    let r = CGFloat(data[pixelInfo]) / CGFloat(255.0)
    let g = CGFloat(data[pixelInfo+1]) / CGFloat(255.0)
    let b = CGFloat(data[pixelInfo+2]) / CGFloat(255.0)
    let a = CGFloat(data[pixelInfo+3]) / CGFloat(255.0)

    return UIColor(red: r, green: g, blue: b, alpha: a)
}

Swift 5 , includes solution for @2x & @3x image

extension UIImage {
    subscript(_ point: CGPoint) -> UIColor? {
        guard let pixelData = self.cgImage?.dataProvider?.data else { return nil }
        let data: UnsafePointer<UInt8> = CFDataGetBytePtr(pixelData)

        return UIColor(red: i[0], green: i[1], blue: i[2], alpha: i[3])

Answer 11

I use this extension :

public extension UIImage {

    var pixelWidth: Int {
        return cgImage?.width ?? 0
    }

    var pixelHeight: Int {
        return cgImage?.height ?? 0
    }

    func pixelColor(x: Int, y: Int) -> UIColor {

        if 0..<pixelWidth ~= x && 0..<pixelHeight ~= y {
            log.info("Pixel coordinates are in bounds")
        }else {
            log.info("Pixel coordinates are out of bounds")
                        return .black
        }
        guard
            let cgImage = cgImage,
            let data = cgImage.dataProvider?.data,
            let dataPtr = CFDataGetBytePtr(data),
            let colorSpaceModel = cgImage.colorSpace?.model,
            let componentLayout = cgImage.bitmapInfo.componentLayout
        else {
            assertionFailure("Could not get a pixel of an image")
            return .clear
        }

        assert(
            colorSpaceModel == .rgb,
            "The only supported color space model is RGB")
        assert(
            cgImage.bitsPerPixel == 32 || cgImage.bitsPerPixel == 24,
            "A pixel is expected to be either 4 or 3 bytes in size")

        let bytesPerRow = cgImage.bytesPerRow
        let bytesPerPixel = cgImage.bitsPerPixel/8
        let pixelOffset = y*bytesPerRow + x*bytesPerPixel

        if componentLayout.count == 4 {

But for a right pixel color you need use only a image in xcasset in x1 otherwise your reference is wrong and you need to use this: let correctedImage = UIImage(data: image.pngData()!) for retrive the correct origin for your point .

Answer 12

The solution of https://stackoverflow.com/a/40237504/3286489 , only works on sRGB colorspace type of image. However, for a different colorspace (extended sRGB??), it doesn't work.

So to make it work, need to convert it to a normal sRGB image type first, before getting the color from the cgImage . Note we need to add padding to the calculation to ensure the width is always a factor of 8

public extension UIImage {
    func getPixelColor(pos: CGPoint) -> UIColor {
        
        // convert to standard sRGB image
        guard let cgImage = cgImage,
            let colorSpace = CGColorSpace(name: CGColorSpace.sRGB),
            let context = CGContext(data: nil, 
                width: Int(size.width), height: Int(size.height),
                bitsPerComponent: 8, bytesPerRow: 0, space: colorSpace,
                bitmapInfo: CGImageAlphaInfo.premultipliedLast.rawValue)
        else { return .white }

        context.draw(cgImage, in: CGRect(origin: .zero, size: size))
        
        // Get the newly converted cgImage
        guard let newCGImage = context.makeImage(),
            let newDataProvider = newCGImage.dataProvider,
            let data = newDataProvider.data
        else { return .white }
        let pixelData: UnsafePointer<UInt8> = CFDataGetBytePtr(data)

        // Calculate the pixel position based on point given
        let remaining = 8 - ((Int(size.width)) % 8)
        let padding = (remaining < 8) ? remaining : 0
        let pixelInfo: Int = (((Int(size.width) + padding) * Int(pos.y)) + Int(pos.x)) * 4
        
        let r = CGFloat(pixelData[pixelInfo]) / CGFloat(255.0)
        let g = CGFloat(pixelData[pixelInfo+1]) / CGFloat(255.0)
        let b = CGFloat(pixelData[pixelInfo+2]) / CGFloat(255.0)
        let a = CGFloat(pixelData[pixelInfo+3]) / CGFloat(255.0)
        return UIColor(red: r, green: g, blue: b, alpha: a)
   }
}

Optionally, if one doesn't want to convert to cgImage , just replace

        // Get the newly converted cgImage
        guard let newCGImage = context.makeImage(),
            let newDataProvider = newCGImage.dataProvider,
            let newData = newDataProvider.data
            else { return .white }
        let pixelData: UnsafePointer<UInt8> = CFDataGetBytePtr(newData)

With

        // Get the data and bind it from UnsafeMutableRawPointer to UInt8
        guard let data = context.data else { return .white }
        let pixelData = data.bindMemory(
            to: UInt8.self, capacity: Int(size.width * size.height * 4))

Updated

To get an even more concise code, we can improve the convert to sRGB using UIGraphicsImageRenderer directly. The calculation does changes a bit as due such redrawing refine the pixel to be 2x further.

    func getPixelColor(pos: CGPoint) -> UIColor {
        
        let newImage = UIGraphicsImageRenderer(size: size).image { _ in
            draw(in: CGRect(origin: .zero, size: size))
        }

Answer 13

I found no answer anywhere on the internet that supplied

• Simple code
• HDR support
• Color profile support for bgr etc.
• Scale support for @2x @3x

So here it is. The as far as I can tell definitive solution:

Swift 5

import UIKit

public extension CGBitmapInfo {
  // https://stackoverflow.com/a/60247693/2585092
  enum ComponentLayout {
    case bgra
    case abgr
    case argb
    case rgba
    case bgr
    case rgb

    var count: Int {
      switch self {
      case .bgr, .rgb: return 3
      default: return 4
      }
    }
  }

  var componentLayout: ComponentLayout? {
    guard let alphaInfo = CGImageAlphaInfo(rawValue: rawValue & Self.alphaInfoMask.rawValue) else { return nil }
    let isLittleEndian = contains(.byteOrder32Little)

    if alphaInfo == .none {
      return isLittleEndian ? .bgr : .rgb
    }
    let alphaIsFirst = alphaInfo == .premultipliedFirst || alphaInfo == .first || alphaInfo == .noneSkipFirst

    if isLittleEndian {
      return alphaIsFirst ? .bgra : .abgr
    } else {
      return alphaIsFirst ? .argb : .rgba
    }
  }

  var chromaIsPremultipliedByAlpha: Bool {
    let alphaInfo = CGImageAlphaInfo(rawValue: rawValue & Self.alphaInfoMask.rawValue)
    return alphaInfo == .premultipliedFirst || alphaInfo == .premultipliedLast
  }
}

extension UIImage {
  // https://stackoverflow.com/a/68103748/2585092
  subscript(_ point: CGPoint) -> UIColor? {
    guard
      let cgImage = cgImage,
      let space = cgImage.colorSpace,
      let pixelData = cgImage.dataProvider?.data,
      let layout = cgImage.bitmapInfo.componentLayout
    else {
      return nil
    }
    let data: UnsafePointer<UInt8> = CFDataGetBytePtr(pixelData)

    let comp = CGFloat(layout.count)
    let hdr = CGFloat(space.isHDR() ? 2 : 1)
    let pixelInfo = Int((size.width * point.y * scale + point.x * scale) * comp * hdr)
    let i = Array(0 ... Int(comp - 1)).map {
      CGFloat(data[pixelInfo + $0 * Int(hdr)]) / CGFloat(255)
    }

    switch layout {
    case .bgra:
      return UIColor(red: i[2], green: i[1], blue: i[0], alpha: i[3])
    case .abgr:
      return UIColor(red: i[3], green: i[2], blue: i[1], alpha: i[0])
    case .argb:
      return UIColor(red: i[1], green: i[2], blue: i[3], alpha: i[0])
    case .rgba:
      return UIColor(red: i[0], green: i[1], blue: i[2], alpha: i[3])
    case .bgr:
      return UIColor(red: i[2], green: i[1], blue: i[0], alpha: 1)
    case .rgb:
      return UIColor(red: i[0], green: i[1], blue: i[2], alpha: 1)
    }
  }
}

If you use image from Imgaes.xcassets , and only put one @1x image in 1x field. Leave the @2x, @3x blank.

Answer 15

As usual, late to the party, but I wanted to mention that the method indicated above, doesn't always work. If the image is not RGBA, then it can crash. In my experience, running release (optimized) code, can crash, when the debug code works fine.

I have experienced a number of crashes, with the code given here.

Apple tends to add padding to bitmaps, and a simple 4-byte pixel offset may not work.

It works, but is not exactly performant. In my case, it's fine, because I only use it once, at startup:

extension UIImage {
    func getRGBColorOfThePixel(at inPoint: CGPoint) -> UIColor? {
        guard (0..<size.width).contains(inPoint.x),
              (0..<size.height).contains(inPoint.y)
        else { return nil }

        // We draw the image into a context, in order to be sure that we are accessing image data in our required format (RGBA).
        UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(size, false, 0)
        draw(at: .zero, blendMode: .normal, alpha: 1)
        let imageData = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
        UIGraphicsEndImageContext()

        guard let cgImage = imageData?.cgImage,
              let pixelData = cgImage.dataProvider?.data
        else { return nil }
    
        let data: UnsafePointer<UInt8> = CFDataGetBytePtr(pixelData)
        let bytesPerPixel = (cgImage.bitsPerPixel + 7) / 8
        var pixelByteOffset: Int = (cgImage.bytesPerRow * Int(inPoint.y)) + (Int(inPoint.x) * bytesPerPixel)

        let r = CGFloat(data[pixelByteOffset]) / CGFloat(255.0)
        pixelByteOffset += 1
        let g = CGFloat(data[pixelByteOffset]) / CGFloat(255.0)
        pixelByteOffset += 1
        let b = CGFloat(data[pixelByteOffset]) / CGFloat(255.0)
        pixelByteOffset += 1
        let a = CGFloat(data[pixelByteOffset]) / CGFloat(255.0)

        return UIColor(red: r, green: g, blue: b, alpha: a)
    }
}
