Convert a color between HEX, RGB, and HSL with a live swatch preview. Shorthand hex (#f00) is expanded automatically, and every channel is clamped to its valid range (0–255 for RGB, 0–100% for HSL saturation/lightness) so an out-of-range value can't produce an invalid color.
Frequently asked questions
- Does it accept shorthand hex like #f00?
- Yes — 3-digit shorthand is expanded to 6 digits (#f00 becomes #ff0000) before conversion.
- Why does converting HSL back to RGB give a slightly different value?
- RGB↔HSL conversion involves rounding at each step (HSL components are rounded to whole-number degrees/percentages), so a round-trip can shift by 1 in a channel. This matches how browsers and most color tools round HSL, not a bug specific to this converter.
- What happens if I enter an invalid hex code?
- It's rejected with an explicit error — hex input must be exactly 3 or 6 valid hex digits, optionally prefixed with #.
- Is my input uploaded anywhere?
- No. Conversion happens locally in your browser tab — nothing is sent to a server.
