Converting Print Colors to Screen Formats
CMYK is the subtractive color model used in print, blending Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key (Black) inks. RGB is the additive model your screen uses, combining Red, Green, and Blue light.
Translating physical print swatches to a web layout requires exact digital values for every channel. Manual calculation often introduces rounding errors when colors fall outside the standard gamut.
The CMYK to RGB Converter evaluates the standard formula in real time, updating the output as you adjust each slider.
Using the Color Converter
- Enter CMYK values: drag the Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key sliders or type exact percentages into the numeric fields.
- Read the output: the preview swatch, RGB bars, HEX code, and HSL values update live as you adjust each channel.
- Extract from an image: drop a PNG, JPG, WebP, BMP, GIF, or SVG onto the workspace to pull the top 10 dominant colors as clickable swatches.
- Copy or export: click any value to copy it to your clipboard, or export your session history as CSV.
