Does this accept HEX codes without a #?

Yes — the # is optional; both "#3B82F6" and "3B82F6" work.

Does this support 3-digit shorthand HEX codes?

Yes — a 3-digit code like #3BF is automatically expanded (each digit is doubled) before conversion.

Is my color data sent anywhere?

No — conversion happens entirely in your browser.

What if I enter an invalid HEX code?

You'll see a clear message asking for a valid HEX color instead of an incorrect result.

Does this support alpha transparency?

No — this tool converts standard 6-digit RGB HEX codes; 8-digit HEX-with-alpha is not currently supported.

Can I convert the other direction, RGB to HEX?

Yes — use the dedicated RGB to HEX tool for that direction.

What Is HEX to RGB Conversion?

HEX and RGB are two common ways to write the same color: HEX packs red, green and blue values into a six-digit hexadecimal code like #3B82F6, while RGB writes the same three values out in decimal, like rgb(59, 130, 246). Converting between them is a routine task in web design and CSS work.

This tool takes a HEX code — with or without the # and in either 6-digit or 3-digit shorthand form — and instantly shows the equivalent RGB value alongside a live color swatch so you can confirm you have the right color.

Tips

Use for CSS Variable Migration

Convert HEX design tokens to RGB when a codebase needs rgba() for transparency.

Check Shorthand Codes Carefully

A 3-digit HEX code like #3BF expands to #33BBFF, not #303030 — verify the swatch matches what you expect.
