HEX to RGB Converter

Convert a hex color code to RGB and rgba() values instantly.

Hex codes are how colors travel — copied from design tools, brand guides and CSS. But the moment you need transparency, a CSS rgba() value, or to tweak a single channel, you need the RGB breakdown. Hex #3366cc becomes rgb(51, 102, 204), and doing that conversion in your head means base-16 arithmetic on three pairs of digits.

Paste a hex code (3- or 6-digit, with or without the #) and get the RGB values, a ready-to-paste rgb() and rgba() string, and a live color preview. It's the quickest path from a hex code to the CSS you actually need.

Frequently asked questions

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Forgetting that rgba()'s alpha is 0–1, not 0–255 or a percentage.
  • Mixing up channel order — hex and rgb() are both red, green, blue, but some legacy formats differ.
