CMYK Converter

Convert CMYK to RGB and HEX, or go the other way, with live sliders and a preview. Built for moving colors between print and screen work.

A CMYK converter moves colors between print and screen, both ways. Set the cyan, magenta, yellow and key percentages to get RGB and HEX, or paste a hex to read the CMYK back, so it works as a CMYK to RGB converter or an RGB to CMYK tool for print work. The result is a device-independent estimate, a good starting point before you apply a real print profile. It runs in your browser.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert CMYK to RGB?
Set the four CMYK percentages with the sliders. For example C100 M0 Y0 K0 is pure cyan and converts to rgb(0, 255, 255), or #00FFFF. The matching RGB and HEX appear live, ready to copy.
How do I convert RGB or HEX to CMYK?
Paste a hex or rgb() value into the color field. The sliders jump to the matching CMYK percentages so you can read them off.
Will the CMYK values match my printer exactly?
Not exactly. This uses a standard, device-independent formula. Real print output depends on paper, ink and the print profile, so treat these as a starting point.
What does the K in CMYK stand for?
K is the key plate, which is black. Cyan, magenta and yellow build most colors, and black adds depth and clean dark tones.
