# Image ICC Profile

Convert an image to the sRGB, Display P3 or CMYK color profile and embed that profile in the file. The tool transforms the colors from the profile already in the image, or from sRGB if it has none, and keeps EXIF and XMP. It suits web publishing in sRGB, wide gamut displays in Display P3 and print preparation in CMYK, with JPEG, PNG, TIFF, WebP and AVIF input.

## Frequently asked questions

### Which profiles can I choose?

sRGB, the standard for the web and most screens, Display P3, the wider gamut used by recent phones and displays, and a generic CMYK print profile that comes with the image engine. The tool uses these built-in profiles, so no profile file has to be uploaded.

### Does the tool convert colors or only attach a profile?

It converts. The pixels are transformed from the profile embedded in your image, or from sRGB when there is none, into the chosen profile, so colors look the same in color-managed apps. With Embed profile on, the target profile is then saved in the file.

### What does turning off Embed profile do?

The colors are still converted, but no profile is saved in the file. Apps then assume sRGB, which is fine for sRGB output and saves a few hundred bytes, but Display P3 or CMYK files without a profile will show wrong colors in most apps.

### What happens when I convert a PNG or WebP to CMYK?

PNG, WebP and AVIF cannot store CMYK pixels, so CMYK output is saved as a JPEG, while JPEG and TIFF uploads keep their format. Transparent areas are filled with white because JPEG has no transparency.

### Which formats are supported?

JPEG, PNG, TIFF, WebP and AVIF files up to 5 MB and 4000 pixels a side. GIF files are limited to 256 colors and cannot carry a color profile, so GIF uploads are rejected with a message.

### Is my other metadata kept?

EXIF and XMP are kept. The old ICC profile is replaced by the new one, and the image is written again: PNG and TIFF stay lossless, JPEG is saved at quality 92, WebP at quality 92 and AVIF at quality 80.

### Why do my colors look washed out on the web?

A photo with a wide gamut or print profile looks dull or shifted in apps that ignore profiles. Converting it to sRGB with the profile embedded gives the most consistent result across browsers, email clients and social networks.

### When should I use Display P3?

Use Display P3 for images shown on recent phones, tablets and laptops with wide gamut screens, where saturated reds and greens look richer. Converting an sRGB photo to P3 does not add color that was never captured, it only changes how the colors are encoded.

### Is the CMYK result ready for a print shop?

It gives a correct CMYK conversion with a generic profile, which is fine for office printing and proofs. Commercial printers often ask for their own press profile, such as FOGRA or GRACoL, so check their requirements before sending final files.

### How can I see which profile an image has?

Upload it to the Image Metadata Viewer. The color profile section shows the profile name, version, device class and color space.
