Free Online Design Tools
Color and design utilities for designers and developers. Pick colors with HEX/RGB/HSL/CMYK conversions, generate CSS gradients, check WCAG accessibility contrast ratios, create color palettes, and measure on screen.
Why Use Online Design Tools?
Quick color decisions, accessibility checks, and gradient generation are constant tasks in design and front-end development. Having browser-based tools means you can check a contrast ratio or generate a gradient without opening Figma, Photoshop, or a separate desktop app. Our design tools are instant, accurate, and always free.
Accessibility and WCAG Compliance
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) require a minimum contrast ratio between text and background colors: 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text at the AA level. Our Contrast Checker gives you an instant pass/fail result against all WCAG AA and AAA criteria. Building accessible products is not optional — the Contrast Checker makes it easy to verify compliance during design, not after.
Color Format Reference
HEX (#RRGGBB)
The most common format for web design. Used in CSS, HTML, and design tools. Easy to copy and paste directly into code. Example: #0070f3
RGB (R, G, B)
Specifies red, green, and blue channels from 0–255. Used in CSS as rgb(0, 112, 243). Good for programmatically creating color variations.
HSL (H, S%, L%)
Hue (0–360°), Saturation (0–100%), Lightness (0–100%). Most intuitive for humans. Creating lighter or darker variants of a color is easy in HSL. Used in CSS as hsl(211, 100%, 48%).
CMYK (C%, M%, Y%, K%)
Used in print design. Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key (black) channels. Convert from your screen color to the nearest CMYK equivalent for print preparation.

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल
What contrast ratio do I need for accessibility?
WCAG AA — the level required by most accessibility laws — requires 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text (18pt/24px regular or 14pt bold). AAA raises this to 7:1 and 4.5:1. The Contrast Checker shows all four thresholds at once.
Which color format should I use in CSS?
Use HEX for static brand colors, RGBA when you need opacity, and HSL when generating shades or theming. All three describe the same colors — the Color Picker shows HEX, RGB, HSL, and CMYK for any color simultaneously.
Are the design tools free to use?
Yes. Every color and design tool is completely free with no account or sign-up. They run in your browser as a fast alternative to opening Figma, Photoshop, or a desktop app for quick tasks.
Can I convert between HEX, RGB, HSL, and CMYK?
Yes. The Color Picker converts any selected color into all four formats at once, generates a shade range, and shows the WCAG contrast ratio against white and black backgrounds.
