› About this tool · FAQ

Convert and compare colors across HEX, RGB, HSL, HSV, CMYK, LAB, and named palettes with live preview, alpha handling, and palette-ready exports.

How do I convert color formats?

Paste your color value (HEX, RGB, HSL, HSV, CMYK, LAB, or named color), select output formats, configure options (alpha, uppercase HEX, preview), and convert. The tool displays all format conversions simultaneously with live color preview.

Is this color converter free?

Yes, completely free with unlimited conversions. No signup required, no watermarks. All color conversion happens in your browser for complete privacy of brand palettes and design colors.

Are color values uploaded to servers?

No, all color conversion happens locally in your browser. Color values never leave your computer, ensuring complete privacy for proprietary brand palettes and client work under NDA.

What's the difference between HSL and HSV?

HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) is more intuitive for adjusting brightness. HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value) is more intuitive for color picking and matches how many color pickers work.

When should I use CMYK vs RGB?

Use CMYK for print design (subtractive color). Use RGB for digital displays (additive color). Note that not all RGB colors can be accurately reproduced in CMYK.

Are named colors reliable for web design?

Named colors like "red" or "blue" are supported by all browsers but offer limited color options. Use HEX or RGB for precise color control.

What is LAB color space?

LAB is a device-independent color space that represents how humans perceive color. It's useful for color matching and professional photo editing.

How do I handle transparency/alpha?

Use RGBA for RGB with alpha, HSLA for HSL with alpha, or 8-digit HEX (#RRGGBBAA). Alpha values range from 0 (transparent) to 1 (opaque).
