RGB565 to HEX Converter
Convert 16-bit RGB565 colors (like 0x3BDF) into HEX and RGB (0-255) for embedded UI work.
Common RGB565 examples
0xF800 → red-ish (R max)
0x07E0 → green-ish (G max)
0x001F → blue-ish (B max)
0xFFFF → white
Why RGB565 is used in embedded
RGB565 stores color in 16 bits, reducing memory usage and bus bandwidth versus 24-bit RGB. It is common in TFT/LCD frame buffers and SPI display drivers.
FAQ
Is RGB565 to HEX conversion exact?
It is exact for the 16-bit source value, but expanded 8-bit RGB channels are approximations.
Can I use decimal RGB565 input?
Yes. The converter supports both hex and decimal RGB565 values.
