How to convert a HEX color to RGB
Convert a hex color code to RGB (and HSL, HSV) instantly in your browser, with a live preview.
A hex color packs red, green, and blue into three pairs of hex digits: #RRGGBB. To convert to RGB, read each pair as a 0–255 value — for example, #4f46e5 is rgb(79, 70, 229), because 4f=79, 46=70, and e5=229.
Input
#4f46e5
Output
rgb(79, 70, 229)
Each hex pair is base-16: 4f = 4×16+15 = 79, e5 = 14×16+5 = 229.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I convert a 3-digit hex like #abc?
- Each digit is doubled: #abc becomes #aabbcc, i.e. rgb(170, 187, 204). The converter expands shorthand hex automatically.
- What about alpha / transparency?
- An 8-digit hex (#RRGGBBAA) adds an alpha pair, which maps to the fourth value in rgba(r, g, b, a) where a is 0–1.
