What is Color Converter?

A color converter is a design and development tool that lets you convert colors between HEX, RGB, RGBA, HSL, and HSLA formats instantly. Color conversion is essential for web developers writing CSS, UI designers working with design systems, and product teams building consistent branding. Different platforms and tools use different color formats: HEX is common in design tools and CSS, RGB/RGBA is often used for dynamic styling and transparency, and HSL/HSLA is preferred for color manipulation like adjusting saturation or lightness. This online color converter supports all major formats, detects input automatically, and provides a live preview so you can visually confirm the converted color.

How to Use

Paste a color value into the input field (HEX, RGB, RGBA, HSL, or HSLA)

2

The tool automatically detects the input format and converts it

3

Use the live preview to confirm the color visually

5

Copy the converted output and paste it into CSS, design tools, or your codebase

Common Use Cases
