About This Tool
The Color Code Converter tool shows a single color in HEX, RGB, and HSL formats at the same time and converts between them. You can pick a color by typing it, choosing a preset, or using the eyedropper, and adjust transparency as well. Ideal for converting a color into the code format you need for web design, UI work, CSS, and image editing.
How to Use
Choose a color
Enter a value in the HEX, RGB, or HSL fields, or select a preset color. In environments that support it, you can also use the eyedropper button to pick a color directly from the screen.
Adjust transparency
Move the transparency slider to control the color's opacity. The setting is reflected in the preview at the top and in the color codes.
Review and copy the result
Check the color in the preview, then press the copy button next to the HEX, RGB, or HSL entry to copy the value you need to the clipboard.
Key Features
HEX, RGB, and HSL together
Enter a color in one format and see its HEX, RGB, and HSL values all at once.
Real-time preview and transparency
The preview updates instantly as you change color values or transparency, and the slider lets you create semi-transparent colors.
Eyedropper and preset colors
In supported browsers, use the eyedropper to pick a color from the screen, or click a common preset color to apply it quickly.
Copy each format individually
Copy the HEX, RGB, or HSL value separately to use directly in CSS, design tools, and documents.
Enter values directly
If you already know the color code, type it into the fields to see the conversion result.
In-browser processing
Your color values and conversion results stay in your browser — nothing is sent to a server.
Use Cases
Converting CSS color codes
Convert a HEX color from a design mockup into RGB or HSL for use in CSS styles.
Transferring colors between design tools
Convert the same color into the code format each program requires when formats differ.
Creating semi-transparent backgrounds
Adjust transparency to produce semi-transparent colors for overlays, backgrounds, buttons, and borders.
Picking colors from the screen
Use the eyedropper to select a color shown on a webpage, image, or app screen and view it as a code.
Managing brand colors
Keep the HEX, RGB, and HSL values of brand colors together for consistent use across web, print, and design documents.
Frequently Asked Questions
How are HEX, RGB, and HSL different?
HEX represents a color in hexadecimal, such as #8AD0FF. RGB expresses the intensity of red, green, and blue as numbers, while HSL describes a color by hue, saturation, and lightness.
Which format should I use?
HEX is simple and widely used on the web and in design documents. RGB is convenient for adjusting color channels directly, and HSL is useful for intuitively changing hue or lightness.
How is transparency reflected in the color code?
A HEX value with transparency is shown as an 8-digit code with the alpha value added after the usual 6-digit code. For example, in #8AD0FFCC the last two digits represent transparency.
How do 6-digit and 8-digit HEX differ?
A 6-digit HEX contains only the red, green, and blue values. An 8-digit HEX adds an alpha value at the end to represent transparency.
What do 100% and 0% transparency mean?
100% means fully opaque and 0% means fully transparent. Middle values produce semi-transparent colors where the background shows through.
What is the range of RGB values?
RGB values use a range of 0 to 255 for each of red, green, and blue. Higher values make that color component stronger.
What do the HSL values mean?
H is the hue, typically a value between 0 and 359 degrees. S is saturation and L is lightness, each expressed as a percentage.
Does the eyedropper work in every browser?
Support depends on the browser and environment. In environments without support, use the color inputs or preset colors instead.
Can I edit a color after selecting a preset?
Yes. After choosing a preset, adjust the HEX, RGB, or HSL values or the transparency to fine-tune the color.
What value does the copy button copy?
Each copy button copies the current color value in that format. You can copy only the HEX, RGB, or HSL value you need.
Is my color input sent to a server?
No. All processing happens locally in your browser. Your color values and conversion results are never transmitted to a server.
