What is RGB to RGBA Converter?

Convert RGB color values to RGBA format to add alpha transparency control. While RGB format rgb(255, 87, 51) represents solid colors, RGBA format rgba(255, 87, 51, 0.8) adds an alpha channel for transparency. This is essential when you need to add opacity to existing RGB colors for overlays, shadows, or semi-transparent UI elements without changing the base color.
