About HEX ↔ RGB Converter

The HEX RGB Converter changes colours between HEX and RGB in both directions with a live preview. It is for designers and developers translating a colour between the two most common web formats.

HEX and RGB describe the same colour differently, and converting by hand is fiddly. Doing it locally is instant in either direction, with a swatch to confirm the result.

How to use

Step by step

  1. Pick a colour, or type a HEX or RGB value.
  2. The converter fills in the other format automatically.
  3. Check the live preview swatch.
  4. Copy the value you need.

Best practices

Tips for best results

  • Use RGB or rgba when you need an alpha channel, since standard HEX has none.
  • Keep HEX values to the full six digits to avoid ambiguity.
  • Confirm the swatch matches your source colour after converting.
Common mistakes to avoid

Pitfalls to watch for

  • Dropping the leading hash or a digit from a HEX value, which changes the colour.
  • Confusing RGB channel order or exceeding the 0–255 range.
  • Assuming HEX carries opacity; alpha needs rgba or an eight-digit HEX.
