Quick answers

  • C0 M91 Y76 K0 → RGB(255, 23, 61) → #FF173D · ≈ Pantone 185 C under sRGB
  • C40 M30 Y30 K100 (rich black) → RGB(0, 0, 0) → #000000 · K100 alone also resolves to pure black on screen
  • C100 M0 Y0 K0 (cyan) → RGB(0, 255, 255) → #00FFFF · C0 M100 Y0 K0 → #FF00FF · C0 M0 Y100 K0 → #FFFF00
  • C20 M15 Y15 K0 → RGB(204, 217, 217) → #CCD9D9 · Cool light grey, common neutral build
  • C0 M0 Y0 K0 → RGB(255, 255, 255) → #FFFFFF · Pure white = no ink

You have a CMYK build from a print spec sheet and you need its RGB equivalent for a digital mockup or web preview. The picker above runs the real ICC profile conversion in your browser — pick the press the file targets and the RGB output reflects how the printed result will look on stock. Or upload your shop's own ICC profile for a perfect-match preview.

Real ICC profiles, not an approximation

This page bundles the actual ICC profile files and runs them through Little CMS compiled to WebAssembly — the same colour-management engine that powers Firefox, GIMP, and most Linux print pipelines. Numbers match Photoshop at the same profile + perceptual rendering intent. Every other free converter on the web skips the ICC engine and silently assumes US SWOP → sRGB.

Bundled profiles: sRGB v4 (ICC, freely distributable), U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2 and Coated FOGRA39 / ISO 12647-2:2004 (Adobe Color Profile Bundling Agreement).

Bring your own ICC profile

Most pro print shops have their own ICC profile that captures their exact press, paper, and ink behaviour. Click ↑ Upload your shop's ICCin the profile picker to use it as the source profile. The file is parsed entirely in your browser — Polotno never sees it, no copy is uploaded. We're the only free web converter that does this; for any other tool you'd need Photoshop or Affinity.
