HEX to CMYK Converter

Type a HEX code or pick a color. Get exact ink percentages with a live breakdown and total ink coverage check, plus RGB and HSL side by side.

Total Ink Coverage (TAC) is C+M+Y+K combined. Most commercial presses run best under ~280–300% - higher can smudge or dry slowly on coated stock.

FAQ

Still have questions?

What is the CMYK equivalent of a HEX color?

A HEX code like #7C3AED is converted to CMYK by first splitting it into RGB, then computing how much cyan, magenta, yellow and key (black) ink is needed to reproduce that color in print. This tool does both steps at once.

What is Total Ink Coverage (TAC) and why does it matter?

TAC is the sum of the C, M, Y and K percentages. Most commercial presses cap it around 240–300% - going higher can cause slow drying, cracking or muddy prints. This tool flags colors that run high so you can adjust before sending to print.

Why do I see slightly different CMYK values on other sites?

CMYK conversion isn't standardized the same way RGB and HEX are - it depends on the color profile (SWOP, GRACoL, FOGRA...) a tool assumes. Treat CMYK output as a strong starting point, not a locked print value.

Does this tool store or upload my colors?

No. Every conversion happens locally in your browser. Nothing you type or pick is sent to a server.

Can I convert CMYK back to HEX or RGB?

Yes - use the CMYK to HEX or CMYK to RGB converters for the reverse direction, or any of the other format converters linked below.
