Color Formats Explained

The same colour can be written several ways, and front-end work constantly moves between them. HEX (#3366ff) is compact and ubiquitous in CSS and design tools. RGB (rgb(51, 102, 255)) maps directly to how screens mix red, green, and blue and makes opacity easy with rgba(). HSL (hsl(225, 100%, 60%)) describes hue, saturation, and lightness, which is far more intuitive when you want a "slightly darker, less saturated" variant of a colour. Converting by hand is fiddly; a picker does it instantly and lets you copy whichever format your stylesheet needs.

When to Use Each Design Tool

  • Color Picker & Converter — sample a colour and convert it between HEX, RGB, and HSL, or fine-tune a shade for a design system or theme.
  • Placeholder Image Generator — create custom-sized placeholder images (SVG, PNG, or JPEG) with your own dimensions, colours, and label text while building layouts before the real assets exist.
  • SVG Path Editor & Visualizer — inspect, edit, and visualise the d attribute of an SVG path, making sense of icon and illustration path data without opening a full vector editor.

All three run entirely in your browser, so generated images and edited paths are produced locally with no uploads or watermarks.

Frequently Asked Questions

What design tools are available on CodeTidy?
CodeTidy offers a color picker with HEX, RGB, and HSL conversion, plus a placeholder image generator that creates custom-sized images in SVG, PNG, or JPEG format. Both tools run entirely in your browser.
Can I use generated placeholder images in production?
The placeholder images are intended for development and prototyping. They are generated client-side and can be downloaded in multiple formats. For production, you should replace them with actual images.
Do the design tools work without an internet connection?
Once the page is loaded, all design tools work entirely offline. Color conversions and image generation happen in your browser with no server requests, so they work even without an active internet connection.
