HEX Alpha to RGBA color conversion

Use HEX Alpha to RGBA 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 the RGB pairs and interpret the final pair as alpha divided by 255. Treat RGB coordinates and opacity as separate parts of the conversion. RGBA output includes the RGB coordinates and an opacity component. Check that the returned alpha value matches the value you intend to use.

Worked color example

The sample #336699CC corresponds to rgba(51, 102, 153, 0.8) 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

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. RGBA adds opacity to red, green, and blue channels. An alpha value of 0 is fully transparent and 1 is fully opaque; the example uses 0.8.

Transparency and rounding

Both formats can express alpha. The example shows equivalent coordinates with opacity 0.8, but verify that the tool retains opacity in its actual output. Byte rounding can change an alpha value slightly when converting through hexadecimal.

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.
