About this tool

Colors on the web are written in several formats — HEX for CSS, RGB for canvas and image work, and HSL for reasoning about hue, saturation, and lightness. This converter accepts a color in any of those formats and instantly shows the equivalents in the others, alongside a live preview swatch so you can confirm you have the shade you meant.

It is a small but constant time-saver for front-end developers and designers: grab a HEX from a design file and read it as HSL to adjust lightness, or take an RGB value from a screenshot tool and produce clean CSS. Everything is computed in your browser as you type, with no lookups or uploads.

How to use

  1. Enter a color in HEX (for example #3b82f6), RGB, or HSL.
  2. Read the converted values in the other two formats immediately.
  3. Check the live preview swatch to confirm the color looks right.
  4. Tweak a channel — such as HSL lightness — and watch the other formats update.
  5. Copy the format you need directly into your CSS or design tool.
  6. Enter a new value whenever you want to convert another color.

Frequently asked questions

Which color formats can I convert between?

The tool converts among HEX, RGB, and HSL. Enter a color in any one of them and it shows the equivalent in the other two.

Is my color data sent anywhere?

No. Conversion is performed entirely in your browser. The colors you enter are never uploaded, so it works offline and keeps your work private.

When should I use HSL instead of HEX or RGB?

HSL is ideal when you want to reason about a color intuitively — nudging lightness for a hover state or shifting hue for a palette — because those adjustments map directly to its three components.

Why does the preview matter?

Numbers alone can be misleading, especially for near-identical shades. The live swatch confirms the actual color so you catch a wrong digit before it ends up in your stylesheet.

Can I convert a HEX color to RGB channel values for canvas?

Yes. Paste the HEX code and read the RGB output, which gives you the red, green, and blue channel values you can drop straight into canvas or image-processing code.
