About this rgb to formula-based cmyk
Convert supplied RGB numbers to a simple rounded CMYK estimate; no ICC printer profile or print-proof conversion Processes media assets directly in the browser using HTML5 Canvas and WebAssembly decoders, ensuring zero file uploads.
Image processing & canvas pipeline
Enter RGB channel numbers. Clamp channels to sRGB bounds and apply a simple algebraic CMYK formula. Return rounded CMYK percentages.
Worked image transformation example
Scenario: Convert black RGB with the explicit black branch.
Sample input:
Processing: Normalize channels and apply K=1-max(R,G,B); K>=0.999 uses [0,0,0,100].
Illustrative output:
Resolution, dimension & memory limits
No ICC profile, ink-limit, black-generation, or print-proof conversion is performed.

Frequently asked questions
How does RGB to CMYK conversion calculate its result?+
It clamps numeric RGB channels to 0–255, normalizes by 255, sets K to one minus the largest normalized channel, and rounds C/M/Y/K percentages. Near black with K at least 0.999 returns [0,0,0,100].
Which inputs and controls are available?+
One JSON text input accepts r, g, and b. There is no ICC profile, paper, ink set, black-generation control, total-ink limit, spot color, proof preview, export, or batch mode.
Which limits matter?+
Missing r, g or b defaults to zero. Supplied channels must be finite JSON numbers; numeric strings and non-finite values are rejected. Values outside 0–255 are clamped before the simple rounded formula. This is not an ICC-managed print conversion.
What result should the documented example produce?+
For RGB 0,0,0, expect rgb [0,0,0] and cmyk [0,0,0,100] from the bundled conversion formula.
