HEX to RGB Converter
HEX to RGB Converter converts a three- or six-digit hexadecimal colour into its red, green and blue channel values and rounded HSL coordinates. Enter a HEX code with or without the # sign; the calculation runs in your browser.
HEX to RGB Converter is a browser-based way to convert a colour between formats. Feed it your hex colour code and it computes the colour in each format on the spot, keeping your data local.
About this calculator
It matters when a format, encoding or size has to be exactly right for the system reading it. The governing relationship: HEX to RGB Converter converts each pair of hex digits to a 0–255 value for red, green and blue, then derives HSL from those channels. See it on real numbers: Convert #1E90FF: 1E = 30, 90 = 144, FF = 255, giving RGB(30, 144, 255) (dodger blue). The calculator above applies the same steps to whatever you enter — computed locally, nothing sent anywhere.
How to use
- Enter a hex colour like #ff8800.
- Press Calculate to get the RGB values.
- Read the red, green, and blue values.
- Copy them into your project.

Technical notes
This form accepts opaque three- or six-digit HEX codes and outputs RGB plus HSL rounded to whole degrees and percentages. It does not accept RGB input, transparency, named colours or a printing profile. Use the RGB to HEX Converter for the reverse direction.
Results are reference values; validate against your own environment before relying on them in production.
All arithmetic runs in your browser using double-precision floating point, so extreme inputs may show tiny rounding differences.
