How it works

Three steps. No upload, no signup.

  1. 1

    Drop your file

    Click the dropzone above or drag a Hex codes from your desktop. Files of any size, there's no upload, so there's no upload limit.

  2. 2

    Convert in your browser

    The conversion runs entirely in this tab using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your file never touches our servers, we don't have any.

  3. 3

    Download

    Get your GPL the moment the conversion finishes. Convert another, or close the tab.

Files stay on your device

Your file is never uploaded. The entire conversion runs in your browser using WebAssembly. We can't see what you convert because we have no server to see it.

No file size limit

Server converters cap free users at 1-2 GB and gate larger files behind a paid plan. Since nothing uploads, our limit is whatever your browser can handle.

Free, no signup, no ads on conversions

No account required. No watermark on the output. No queue. Open source, every line of conversion code is public.

Formats involved

About Hex codes and GPL

Hex codes, Hex color list

A plain text list of hex color codes (e.g. #FF6B35, one per line). The most portable color-list format, any modern design tool accepts hex. Often the format used by color-palette generators (Coolors, Adobe Color, Khroma) for export.

How to open

Any text editor. Pastes directly into design tools.

GPL, GIMP Palette

GPL is GIMP's plain-text palette format. Each line: R G B Name (R/G/B as 0-255 integers). Trivially diff-able, scriptable, and human-readable, which is why open-source design tools (Inkscape, Krita) and many web color tools support GPL natively even when they don't read ASE/ACO.

How to open

GIMP, Inkscape, Krita, Aseprite, MyPaint. Plain text in any editor, generate or edit them programmatically.

FAQ

Common questions

Is this HEX list → GPL converter really free?

Yes. No signup, no watermark, no daily file count limit. The entire engine is open source, you can read the conversion code on GitHub.

Where does my file go when I convert it?

Nowhere. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your file is never uploaded to our servers. We don't have any servers handling files, there's nothing for us to log, store, or accidentally leak.

What's the maximum file size?

Whatever your browser can hold in memory. Practically, this means a few hundred MB on most computers, significantly larger than the 1-2 GB caps that server-upload converters charge for. Very large files (multi-GB) may require closing other browser tabs first.

Why convert Hex codes to GPL?

Color palette interchange between web/design tools. Color palette sharing in open-source design workflows. The most common reason to convert is compatibility, GPL works in places where Hex codes doesn't, or vice versa.

How do I open a Hex codes file in the first place?

Any text editor. Pastes directly into design tools.

Does this work offline?

Once the page is loaded, the conversion itself runs entirely offline. The first time you use a tool, your browser downloads the conversion library (a one-time cache). If you reload while offline, the page won't load, but you can install the site as a Progressive Web App for full offline use.

Can I convert multiple files at once?

Single file at a time for now. Batch conversion is on the roadmap, for now, drop one file, download the result, then convert the next.
