What is an RGB to HEX converter?

An RGB to HEX converter turns red, green, and blue channel values into a compact HEX color code. RGB is easy to understand as light channels, while HEX is the format many designers and developers copy into CSS, design systems, and palette documents.

This tool is useful when you have an RGB value from a screenshot, browser inspector, design handoff, or image editor and want a clean HEX code for a website or palette.

How to convert RGB to HEX

  2. Enter a green value from 0 to 255.
  3. Enter a blue value from 0 to 255.

When HEX is useful

HEX is compact, readable, and easy to move between design tools and code. It is especially useful for CSS variables, brand palettes, documentation, moodboards, and static color tokens in a design system.

If your color does not need transparency, HEX is often the simplest format to share.

Example output

Three RGB channels become one HEX code.

rgb(108, 92, 231) -> #6C5CE7

Tips for valid RGB values

  • Each channel must be between 0 and 255.
  • 0 means no light in that channel, and 255 means full light.
  • White is rgb(255, 255, 255), black is rgb(0, 0, 0), and neutral gray uses equal values.
  • If a value contains decimals, PhotoColor rounds it before creating the HEX code.
