How do I convert HSLA to HSL?

Paste your HSLA color value (like hsla(9, 100%, 65%, 0.8)) and get the HSL equivalent hsl(9, 100%, 65%). The alpha channel is removed.

What happens to the alpha channel?

The alpha channel is removed during conversion. HSL format doesn't support transparency, so you get the base color without opacity.

Why would I need HSL instead of HSLA?

HSL is useful when you don't need transparency, want simpler color values, or need to work with systems that don't support alpha channels.

Can I preserve the alpha channel?

No. HSL format doesn't support alpha. If you need transparency, keep the HSLA format.

What if I want to convert HSLA to a solid color that looks the same?

This tool removes the alpha channel, giving you the base color. To get a solid color that looks the same as a semi-transparent one, you'd need to blend it with the background color.

Can I convert HSLA values from CSS?

Yes. If you have HSLA values from CSS, paste them in hsla(h, s%, l%, a) format to get the HSL equivalent.

Is the conversion done on a server?

No. All conversion runs locally in your browser, so your color data never leaves your device.
