Right-click any image.It opens in your tool.
The step everyone repeats twenty times a day is not the editing. It is the download, the folder, the upload, the wait. Texloom Studio for Chrome removes all four: the picture you are looking at is already in the tool you wanted.
Works on any site you visit. Nothing of ours runs on a page until you ask it to.
Six tools, one click away from any picture
Right-click an image anywhere on the web and these appear, under Texloom Studio. Pick one and the image opens in that tool, already loaded. If the studio is open in another tab, that tab is reused and brought to the front rather than a new one being piled on.
Background Remover
Cuts the product out of a marketplace photo, edge halo and all, so a flat-lay can go straight onto a moodboard.
AI Image Upscaler
Turns a small catalogue thumbnail into something with enough detail to actually judge a weave.
Vectorize Studio
Traces a motif into clean vector paths for screen prints, embroidery digitising or a repeat.
AI Image Sharpener
Rescues a soft or slightly blurred reference shot before you commit to it.
Seamless Tile Checker
Tiles the image four ways and shows you the seam, so you know in a second whether a repeat is really a repeat.
Seamless Pattern Maker
Takes a flat artwork and builds the repeat, ready to hand to print.
None of them quite right? Open in Studio sits at the top of the same menu and carries the image into the full set of tools.
Three answers you get without opening anything
Not every question needs a tool. These three run inside the extension and finish before a tab would have loaded.
Copy palette from image
Pulls the six colours that actually dominate the picture and puts the hex codes on your clipboard. Near-identical shades are rejected using the same CIEDE2000 measure a colourist would trust, so you get six usable colours instead of five beiges and a highlight.
Print size at 300 DPI
Answers the question you would otherwise open Photoshop for: how big does this actually print? It reports the pixel size, the megapixels, and the printed dimensions at 150, 300 and 600 DPI.
Pick a colour on this page
Works on any page, not just on an image. A magnified loupe follows the cursor so you land on the exact pixel, not the one next to it.
Any pixel on screen, read as Pantone TCX
Press Alt Shift V and the page dims under a magnified loupe. Click the pixel you want. The result appears on the page you picked it from, so you never have to go looking for it — swatch, the nearest Pantone TCX colour with its Delta E, and every code below. Click any row to copy it.
- HEX — Anything on a screen, and the format every other tool accepts.
- RGB — Digital artwork and quick sanity checks against a design file.
- HSL — Shifting a shade lighter or more muted without losing the hue.
- CMYK — A starting point for print, before the printer's own profile is applied.
- LAB — The one that survives the trip to a dye house, because it is device-independent.

The window, when you want it
Most of the time you never open it — the menu and the shortcut are faster. It is there for the things that need a second look.
Send
The image waiting to be handed over, the print-size readout when you asked for one, and four tools as tiles for when you would rather click than right-click.
Colour
Start a pick, read every code for the last one, and keep the colours you have gathered. Save the set and it lands in your studio, in the saved palettes of Recolor Studio.
Recent
The last six images you sent, as thumbnails. Click one to go back to the page it came from, or clear the list in one press.
Shortcuts
- Pick a colour on this page
- Alt + Shift + V
- Open the window
- Alt + Shift + S
Both can be reassigned in Chrome under Extensions, then Keyboard shortcuts.
What it saves you, on an ordinary day
None of these are new abilities. They are the same jobs with the fetching and carrying taken out.
You are looking at a fabric listing
Right-click the swatch photo, copy the palette, and the six colours are on your clipboard before the page has finished scrolling. Nothing uploaded, nothing signed into.
A client sends a link, not a file
Right-click the image on their page and choose the tool you were going to use anyway. The picture is carried into that tool for you — no download to a folder, no upload back out.
You need the colour of something that is not an image
Press Alt+Shift+V and click. A brand colour in a logo, a shade in a video still, a tone in a photograph — any pixel on the page reads back as Pantone TCX.
You are collecting a palette across a morning
Every colour you pick is kept in the Colour tab. When you have the set you want, save it, and the extension opens Recolor Studio with the palette already in your saved list.
You want to go back to where something came from
The Recent tab keeps the last six images you sent, as thumbnails. Click one to return to the page it was taken from.
An extension that sees every site is worth being careful about
Chrome asks for access to all sites at install because a designer can right-click a picture anywhere, and there is no way to name the site in advance. Here is exactly what that access is used for.
- Nothing runs on a page until you ask it to — no timer, no background sweep, no code of ours placed on any site except texloom.studio itself.
- Colour picking, palette extraction, the seam check and the print-size readout are all worked out inside the extension and transmit nothing at all.
- The only thing ever sent to us is an image you explicitly right-clicked and chose to open in a tool.
- No password, token or API key is held. It uses the session you already have with the studio, which it cannot read.
The full disclosure is in our privacy policy, under the section on the Chrome extension. How your artwork is handled in the studio itself is covered on design security.
Questions people ask before installing
What does the Texloom Studio Chrome extension do?
It puts Texloom Studio into the right-click menu of every page you visit. Right-click an image to open it in Background Remover, AI Image Upscaler, Vectorize Studio, AI Image Sharpener, Seamless Tile Checker or Seamless Pattern Maker; right-click anywhere to pick a colour off the screen and read it as Pantone TCX. It also copies a six-colour palette out of any image and tells you how large that image prints.
Do I need an account to use it?
The colour picker, the palette copy and the print-size readout need no account at all. Opening an image in a studio tool does, because the tool itself runs in Texloom Studio. If you are not signed in, the extension takes you to the sign-in page and picks up where you left off.
Does the extension upload the pages I visit?
No. It reads one image, only when you right-click it and choose a tool, and only that image reaches us. Page text, links, form fields, history and anything you type are never read, never stored and never transmitted.
Why does it ask for access to all websites?
A designer can right-click a picture on any site, and Chrome cannot be told about a site in advance. What limits the access is that the extension places no code of its own on any page other than texloom.studio, so on every other site nothing of ours is present until the moment you invoke it from the menu, the toolbar or the shortcut.
What is the keyboard shortcut for the colour picker?
Alt+Shift+V opens the picker on the page you are looking at. Alt+Shift+S opens the extension window. Both can be changed in Chrome under Extensions, then Keyboard shortcuts.
Can it pick a colour from outside Chrome?
No, and no extension can. Chrome gives extensions no way to read the rest of the desktop. Inside Chrome it works on ordinary pages; Chrome refuses screen capture on its own settings pages, the Web Store and the PDF viewer, which is a rule of the platform rather than a limit we chose.
How accurate is the Pantone match?
The picked colour is compared against the Pantone TCX textile library using CIEDE2000, the same perceptual difference measure used in production colour work, and the Delta E is shown next to the match so you can judge it rather than trust it. Under 1 is imperceptible, under 2 is close on inspection, and anything above 5 deserves a physical check.
What happens to an image that a site blocks from downloading?
Sites with hotlink protection refuse a direct read. The extension falls back to asking the page itself for the picture it is already displaying, so the send works on sites where a plain save would fail.
Where are my picked colours and saved palettes kept?
Recent picks live in the extension's own storage on the computer you installed it on, and are gone if you remove it. A saved palette is written into your studio, where it appears in the saved list in Recolor Studio — which the extension opens for you, so you can see where it went.
Put the studio in your right-click menu
The extension is the shortest path into Texloom Studio. Everything it opens is a tool you can also reach from the studio itself.
