How do I convert RGBA to HSLA?

Paste your RGBA color value (like rgba(255, 87, 51, 0.8)) and get the HSLA equivalent hsla(9, 100%, 65%, 0.8) with alpha preserved.

Is the alpha channel preserved?

Yes. Both RGBA and HSLA support alpha transparency, so the alpha value is preserved during conversion.

Why use HSLA instead of RGBA?

HSLA makes it easier to create color variations while maintaining transparency. You can adjust lightness for dark mode without changing the alpha value.

What's the difference between RGBA and HSLA?

RGBA uses red, green, blue, alpha values while HSLA uses hue, saturation, lightness, alpha. HSLA is more intuitive for color adjustments.

How do I create a dark mode version with preserved transparency?

Convert your RGBA color to HSLA, then reduce the lightness value. The alpha channel remains unchanged, maintaining the same transparency.

Can I adjust the alpha value after conversion?

Yes. The alpha value is preserved during conversion, but you can manually adjust it in the HSLA format as needed.

Is the conversion done on a server?

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