Why this hex to rgb converter keeps the colour exact
Built to be free, private, and exact — right in your browser.
HEX and RGB are two notations for the same sRGB colour, so converting between them loses nothing — each hex pair maps to one decimal number.
A 3-digit code is expanded by doubling each digit, so #F53 becomes #FF5533 before it is converted.
The preview catches typos that numbers alone hide: a wrong digit shows up as the wrong colour at a glance.
The output is written as rgb(R, G, B), ready to paste into a stylesheet, a canvas call or an image-processing script.
