Instantly see an image's colorspace, whether it carries an embedded ICC color profile, and its bit depth — a quick way to catch a print-oriented CMYK export or a wide-gamut Adobe RGB file before it goes live on a website, where only sRGB is reliably supported.

Overview
About Image Color Profile Checker
Upload a JPG, PNG, or WebP file and this tool reports its colorspace (sRGB, CMYK, grayscale, and others), whether it has an embedded ICC color profile, the profile's name if present, and the color bit depth — along with a plain-language note about whether the file is safe to publish on the web as-is. This matters most for images exported from print-design software (which often default to CMYK) or wide-gamut photo editors (Adobe RGB) — both can look washed out or oddly shifted in a web browser, which only reliably renders sRGB.
Compatibility
Supported Formats
Accepts JPG, JPEG, PNG, or WebP input up to 20 MB. Reports colorspace, embedded ICC profile name (if any), and bit depth — no output file is produced.
Guide
How to Use Image Color Profile Checker
- Choose or drag in an image.
- Click "Check Color Profile".
- Review the colorspace, embedded profile, and bit depth it reports.
Highlights
Features
- Colorspace + ICC profile in one check See whether a file is sRGB, CMYK, grayscale, or something else, and whether it carries an embedded ICC profile — in a single upload.
- Plain-language verdict Get a clear note on whether the detected colorspace is safe for the web, not just a raw technical label.
- No files retained This is a report-only tool — no output file is created, and your uploaded image is deleted automatically after the check runs.
Applications
Use Cases
- Check a designer's exported image for a stray CMYK colorspace before publishing it on a website
- Confirm a product photo carries a standard sRGB profile before uploading it to an online store
- Diagnose why an image looks different in a browser than it did in the design tool that produced it
Good to Know
Limitations
This is a diagnostic tool only — it reports a file's colorspace and profile but does not convert or fix it; re-export from the original design software to change the colorspace. An "untagged" result means no ICC profile is embedded, not necessarily that the colors are wrong.
Files are processed on our servers and are not shared with third parties. Files are deleted as soon as processing or download finishes. Any leftover temporary file is removed automatically by our cleanup process within the configured retention period (60 minutes). See our Privacy Policy for full details.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does an image look different in my browser than in Photoshop?
Most web browsers assume every image is sRGB and render it that way regardless of what colorspace it actually carries — so a CMYK or wide-gamut Adobe RGB file can look washed out, over-saturated, or shifted once it's on a web page, even though it looked correct in the design tool that produced it. This tool tells you which colorspace a file actually uses so you can catch that mismatch before publishing.
What does "untagged" mean?
It means the file has no embedded ICC color profile at all. Most software (including web browsers) assumes sRGB for untagged images, which is usually correct for typical web photos, but the tool flags this explicitly since it is not a guarantee.
Can this tool convert my image to sRGB for me?
No — this is a diagnostic/checking tool only, it reports what colorspace and profile a file has rather than changing it. To fix a CMYK or off-profile image, re-export it as sRGB from the software that created it.
What image formats are supported?
JPG/JPEG, PNG, and WebP — the same three formats this site's image engine reads and writes everywhere else.
Is my image kept on your server?
No. This is a report-only tool — no output file is created, and your uploaded image is deleted automatically shortly after the check runs.
