What is HEX to RGB Converter?
The HEX to RGB Converter is a simple utility that translates hexadecimal color codes (common in web design, e.g., #FFFFFF) into their RGB (Red, Green, Blue) equivalents (e.g., rgb(255, 255, 255)). While HEX is concise and widely used in CSS, RGB is often needed for software applications, older systems, or when you need to manipulate color channels programmatically. This tool provides an instant, error-free conversion.
