Free online HEX to HSL color converter. Convert hexadecimal color codes to HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) format.
Enter your HEX color code (like #FF0000) into our converter. It automatically calculates the HSL values (Hue, Saturation, Lightness). For example, #FF0000 becomes hsl(0, 100%, 50%). Enable alpha channel for 8-digit HEX to HSLA conversion.
Converting to HSL makes it easier to understand and manipulate colors. While HEX is standard in web development, HSL provides intuitive control over hue, saturation, and lightness, making it perfect for creating color variations and schemes.
Our converter first transforms HEX to RGB, then to HSL. For example, #FF0000 becomes rgb(255, 0, 0), which converts to hsl(0, 100%, 50%). This two-step process ensures accurate color representation in the more intuitive HSL format.
Yes! Our converter supports 8-digit HEX codes (#RRGGBBAA) and converts them to HSLA format. The alpha value is preserved during conversion. For example, #FF0000FF becomes hsla(0, 100%, 50%, 1).
Both formats have their uses. HEX is compact and universally supported, while HSL is more intuitive for color manipulation. Modern web development often uses both: HEX for static colors and HSL for dynamic color adjustments and animations.
