How do I convert a HEX colour code to RGB?
Type or paste the HEX code into the input field and the RGB equivalent appears immediately, along with HSL for completeness. The hash sign in front of the HEX is optional, and both three character and six character forms are accepted. The result includes copy buttons for each format. If the input is not a valid HEX value the tool highlights the field in red and explains what is wrong, so you can fix typos quickly.
What does each pair of characters in a HEX code mean?
A six character HEX code is split into three pairs. The first pair is the red value, the middle pair is green and the last pair is blue. Each pair is a hexadecimal number from 00 to FF, which is 0 to 255 in decimal. Three character HEX codes are a shorthand where each character is doubled, so f0a becomes ff00aa. Once you understand this layout you can read approximate colours straight from the code without a converter.
Does the converter handle eight character HEX codes with alpha?
Yes. If you paste an eight character HEX, the last pair is treated as the alpha channel and the converter outputs an RGBA value where alpha is between 0 and 1. The shorter four character form, where each character is doubled, also works. This is helpful when you are converting modern CSS colour values that include transparency, such as those used for overlays, hover states and shadow tints in design systems.
Why is my HEX code not converting?
The most common reasons are extra spaces, missing characters or non hex characters like g or h slipping in. HEX values must use only digits 0 to 9 and letters a to f. The tool tells you exactly which character is invalid, which makes typos easy to find. If you are pasting from a design tool, double check that you copied the colour value rather than the variable name. Three, four, six and eight character lengths are all accepted.
Can I convert several HEX codes at the same time?
Yes. There is a batch mode where you paste a list of HEX codes, one per line, and the tool returns a table with HEX, RGB and HSL columns. You can copy the whole table or download a CSV file. This is useful when migrating a stylesheet from HEX to CSS variables or another colour format. Empty lines and lines that start with a comment are ignored, so you can keep notes inside the input without breaking the conversion.
Will my colours look the same after conversion?
Yes. HEX, RGB and HSL are three different ways to write the same colour, so converting between them is mathematically exact. The only place you might see a difference is HSL, where many colours have several valid representations and the tool picks the simplest one. As long as you copy the values into a project that uses sRGB, which is the standard on the web, the rendered colour will be identical regardless of which format you use.
