🎨 Built a HEX to RGB Color Converter That Actually Helps Designers Think in Code

Hey devs, designers, and pixel perfectionists! πŸ‘‹

Ever found yourself eyeballing a HEX color like #FF5733 and wondering what it looks like in RGB? Or maybe you’re tweaking CSS values and switching back and forth between formats?

Well, I’ve been there too. That’s exactly why I built this:
πŸ‘‰ HEX to RGB Color Converter β€” TrixaHub.com

πŸ”§ Why I Created It

There are a lot of color converters out there, but most of them are either:

Bloated with ads

Lacking live preview

Don’t support shorthand or 8-digit HEX

Just plain ugly to use πŸ˜…

So, I decided to build something better β€” a fast, clean, and useful tool that converts **HEX ⇄ RGB **in real-time with live color preview.

✨ Key Features

βœ… **Convert HEX to RGB and back instantly
βœ… Supports both shorthand HEX (#f80) and 8-digit HEX with alpha (#ff573380)
βœ… Live color preview so you see exactly what you're working with
βœ… Copy buttons for quick use in your design or code
βœ… Swap feature to instantly flip formats
βœ… Save favorite colors to a color palette builder
βœ… Export your palette as .txt or .json

And yes β€” no login, no paywall, no ads. Just simple utility.**

πŸ” Use Case: For Designers and Developers Alike

Whether you're working on:

🎯 Web Design: Want your Figma design to match your CSS?
πŸ“± Mobile Apps: Converting HEX to use in RGBA format
πŸ“Š Data Visualization: Managing consistent color schemes in charts
πŸ§ͺ *Testing UI contrast and visibility
*

This tool lets you copy-paste, preview, and experiment without friction.
