Free Online Color Converter
Convert HEX, RGB, or RGBA color values into matching HEX, RGB, RGBA, HSL, HSV, and approximate CMYK formats. Preview the parsed color in your browser, then copy or download the complete conversion for CSS and design work.
Steps
How it works
- Enter a 3-, 6-, or 8-digit HEX value, or a comma-separated RGB or RGBA function.
- Check the live color preview to confirm that the input can be parsed.
- Convert the color into the supported output formats.
- Copy the complete result or download it as a text file.
Highlights
Key features
- Accepts 3- and 6-digit HEX plus 8-digit RRGGBBAA input, with or without the # prefix.
- Accepts comma-separated rgb() and rgba() values.
- Preserves supported alpha input in the RGBA result and visual preview.
- Generates HEX, RGB, RGBA, rounded HSL, HSV, and approximate CMYK values.
- Clamps RGB channels to the 0-255 range.
- Provides a live preview, one-click copy, and text download.
Use cases
Common uses
- Translate a HEX brand color into RGB or HSL for CSS.
- Compare equivalent web color representations.
- Prepare color values for design tokens and frontend documentation.
- Check an RGBA color and its opaque HEX equivalent.
Notes
Limitations to know
- HSL, HSLA, HSV, CMYK, and CSS named colors are output or reference formats only; they are not accepted as input.
- Four-digit RGBA shorthand HEX is not supported, and 8-digit alpha is not included in the generated six-digit HEX value.
- HSL, HSV, and CMYK values are rounded; CMYK is an approximation rather than a print-proof color conversion.
- The preview displays the entered color but is not an interactive eyedropper or color picker.
- The converter does not support LAB, OKLCH, HWB, or device color profiles.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can Color Converter convert HEX to RGB and HSL?
Yes. Valid HEX input produces matching RGB, RGBA, HSL, HSV, and approximate CMYK output.
Which HEX lengths are supported?
The parser accepts 3-, 6-, and 8-digit HEX values. Four-digit shorthand HEX is not supported.
Does the converter support alpha transparency?
Yes for rgba() and 8-digit RRGGBBAA input. Alpha appears in the RGBA result and preview, but the generated HEX line is six-digit RGB.
Can I enter an HSL value or a CSS named color?
No. Input is limited to HEX, rgb(), and rgba() syntax even though HSL is included in the output.
Why are HSL values rounded?
HSL conversion produces fractional values, which this tool rounds to whole degrees and percentages for a concise result.
Can I copy each color format separately?
The current copy action copies the complete list of converted formats rather than one line at a time.
