About HEX to RGB Converter
A hex color is three bytes written in hexadecimal — `#FF8800` is simply red 255, green 136, blue 0. Nothing is being converted in any meaningful sense; it is the same three numbers in a different base. Three-digit shorthand expands by doubling each digit, so `#F80` is `#FF8800`, which is why only 4,096 of the 16.7 million colors have a shorthand form.

Questions
What does an eight-digit hex code mean?
The last two digits are alpha — opacity from 00 (transparent) to FF (opaque). CSS has supported `#RRGGBBAA` since Colors Level 4 and it works in every current browser.
Why does the same hex look different on two screens?
Because hex specifies numbers, not appearance. Rendering depends on the display's color profile and gamut. For color-critical work you need a managed workflow with an explicit color space.
