Overview

The HSL to HSV Converter is a precise utility designed to transform HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) color values into HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value) or HSB (Hue, Saturation, Brightness) formats, ensuring seamless compatibility across different design software and web development environments.

When to use

When migrating color palettes between design tools that use different color models.
When preparing CSS or web assets that require specific HSV or HSB color definitions.
When standardizing color data for programmatic manipulation or graphics programming.

How it works

1Input your HSL or HSLA values into the text area, using standard formats like hsl(0,100%,50%) or simple comma-separated values.
2Select your preferred output format from the dropdown menu, such as hsv, hsb, or labeled text.
3Click the convert button to instantly generate the corresponding color values for your project.

Use cases

Standardizing color definitions for cross-platform UI design systems.
Converting web-based HSL colors for use in native mobile or desktop graphics APIs.
Batch processing color lists for game engine asset configuration.

Examples

1. Web to Native Color Migration

UI/UX Designer

Background

A designer is moving a web-based design system to a native mobile application environment that requires HSB color values.

Problem

The existing design tokens are all in HSL format, causing inconsistencies in the native development environment.

How to use

Paste the HSL color list into the input field and select 'hsb' as the output format.

format: hsb

Outcome

The tool outputs a clean list of HSB values ready for direct implementation in the mobile codebase.

2. Graphic Programming Setup

Graphics Programmer

Background

A developer is writing a shader that requires HSV input for color manipulation logic.

Problem

The source assets are provided in CSS HSL format, which is incompatible with the shader's expected input.

How to use

Input the HSL values and select the 'values' output format to get raw numbers for the shader code.

FAQ

What is the difference between HSV and HSB?

HSV and HSB are essentially the same color model; 'V' stands for Value and 'B' stands for Brightness. Both describe the same mathematical representation of color.

Can I convert multiple colors at once?

Yes, you can paste multiple HSL values into the input area, with each color on a new line, to convert them in a single batch.

Does this tool support alpha channels?

Yes, the tool supports HSLA input and will maintain the alpha channel in the output if provided in the input.

What input formats are accepted?

The tool accepts standard CSS syntax (hsl/hsla), comma-separated values, and labeled formats like 'H:0 S:100% L:50%'.

Is the conversion accurate?

Yes, the tool uses standard mathematical formulas to ensure precise conversion between the HSL and HSV/HSB color spaces.
