Frequently asked questions
Which color formats can I enter?
HEX (#rgb, #rrggbb and #rrggbbaa), rgb() and rgba(), hsl() and hsla(), hsv(), cmyk() and all 148 CSS color names such as rebeccapurple. Modern space-separated syntax like rgb(59 130 246 / 50%) works too.
What do the AA and AAA badges mean?
They show whether your color meets the WCAG contrast guidelines when used as text on white or black. AA needs 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text; AAA needs 7:1 and 4.5:1.
Why is there no Pick from screen button?
It uses the browser's EyeDropper API, which is available in Chrome, Edge and other Chromium browsers. In other browsers use the color picker or type a value.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. Color Converter runs entirely in your browser. Your files are processed on your device and are never sent to a server.
Is there a file size limit?
No fixed limit. The only limit is your device's memory. Very large files work best in a desktop browser.
Is Color Converter really free?
Yes. There's no account and no watermark. A short optional ad, or a 20-second wait, unlocks each download. That's how we keep it free.
