#️⃣ HEX to RGB Converter

How the hex to rgb converter works

Each pair of HEX digits is one channel in base-16: the first pair red, the second green, the third blue. #1d87f1 → 1d = 29, 87 = 135, f1 = 241 → rgb(29, 135, 241). Three-digit shorthand doubles each digit (#fa0 = #ffaa00).

You need this conversion any time CSS or a design tool wants numeric channels — rgba() with transparency being the everyday case: take the RGB values and add your alpha, e.g. rgba(29, 135, 241, 0.5).

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert HEX to RGB manually?

Split the six digits into three pairs and convert each from base-16: multiply the first digit by 16 and add the second (letters a–f are 10–15). f1 = 15×16 + 1 = 241.

How do I get rgba() transparency from a HEX code?

Convert to RGB here, then add the alpha: #1d87f1 at 50% = rgba(29, 135, 241, 0.5). (Modern CSS also accepts 8-digit HEX, where the last pair is alpha: #1d87f180.)

What if my code has only 3 digits?

It is shorthand — each digit doubles. #09c = #0099cc = rgb(0, 153, 204). The tool handles both.

Are HEX and RGB ever different colors?

Never — they are two notations for identical values. Any difference you see comes from color profiles or display settings, not the notation.

Does the tool upload my values?

No — conversion is local and instant.
