HEX to HEX Alpha
Convert HEX to HEX Alpha. See worked examples, understand the conversion method, and check practical limits before using your result. Check the format first.
HEX to HEX Alpha color conversion
Use HEX to HEX Alpha when a design specification, stylesheet, or color editor needs a different representation of the same color. Start hexadecimal input with #, or use a lowercase rgb, rgba, hsl, hsla, or hsv function name. Select Submit, then check the target-format result before copying it.
How this conversion works
Decode each hexadecimal pair into its red, green, or blue channel, then use those channels to calculate the destination representation. For CSS HEX Alpha output, encode RGB channel pairs and an alpha pair. The alpha byte is the rounded value of alpha × 255. For alpha 0.8, that byte is CC.
Worked color example
The sample #336699 corresponds to #336699FF for the color coordinates illustrated here. Small differences in the final digits can result from rounding. This example explains the mathematical representation; it does not establish which input syntax this tool accepts.
Understand the formats
HEX encodes red, green, and blue as hexadecimal channel pairs. For #336699, the pairs 33, 66, and 99 correspond to decimal channel values 51, 102, and 153. CSS HEX Alpha adds an alpha pair after the red, green, and blue pairs: #RRGGBBAA. The final pair CC corresponds to an alpha value of 0.8. It is different from formats that place alpha first.
Transparency and rounding
The source example has no explicit alpha component. An opaque destination example uses alpha 1, or FF in hexadecimal. Check the actual result rather than assuming the tool chooses that default.
Frequently asked questions
Will the converted color look identical everywhere?
Equivalent coordinates describe the same color within the assumed color model. Displays, color profiles, surrounding colors, and backgrounds can affect appearance. Compare the result in the application where you will use it.
Can I interchange HSL lightness and HSV value?
No. They are different calculations. Recalculate the destination coordinates instead of moving the same percentages between HSL and HSV fields.
