About the CMYK to HEX Converter

What is CMYK to HEX conversion?

CMYK is the four-ink print model — Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key (black), given as percentages. A HEX code is the six-character form screens and the web use. This converter takes your CMYK percentages and returns the matching HEX, along with RGB, HSL, and HSB and a live preview.

You'll reach for this when a color is defined for print but you need it on a screen — turning a CMYK value from a print spec into the HEX a website, app, or slide deck expects. Drag the C, M, Y, and K sliders and the HEX updates instantly. Because CMYK and screen color don't cover identical ranges, this is a clean standard conversion rather than a color-managed proof, but it's spot-on for a usable on-screen equivalent.

How to Use This Tool

  1. Set your CMYK color. Drag the Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key sliders, or type 0–100% values.
  2. Read the HEX code. The matching #RRGGBB appears at the top and updates live.
  3. Or start from HEX. Paste a HEX code and the CMYK sliders snap to match.
  4. Copy what you need. Grab HEX or RGB for the web, and explore the shades and harmonies.
