Free Online Color Space Converter
imgxcolor's Color Space Converter lets you convert images between sRGB, Adobe RGB (1998), and ProPhoto RGB entirely in your browser. No software, no uploads, no sign-up โ just drop your image, choose your source and target profiles, and download the result in PNG, JPG, or TIF format.
When Do You Need to Convert Color Spaces?
Color space mismatches are one of the most common causes of washed-out, dull, or oversaturated images. You need to convert color spaces when moving files between workflows โ for example, converting Adobe RGB photos to sRGB before uploading to social media, or converting sRGB assets to ProPhoto RGB for high-end retouching.
sRGB vs Adobe RGB vs ProPhoto RGB
sRGB is the standard for the web and covers ~35% of visible colors. Adobe RGB (1998) is wider (~50%) and preferred in professional photography and print. ProPhoto RGB covers ~91% of visible colors and is used in RAW editing pipelines. Choosing the wrong profile causes visible color shifts.
ICC-Accurate Conversion Math
All conversions route through CIE XYZ as a neutral intermediate space, using the correct primary chromaticities and transfer functions for each profile โ gamma 2.2 for Adobe RGB, gamma 1.8 for ProPhoto, and the standard sRGB piecewise curve. This is the same approach used by professional ICC-compliant color management engines.
Output Formats: PNG, JPG, TIF
Download your converted image in the format that fits your workflow. PNG is lossless and ideal for web use. JPG produces smaller files suited for photos where storage matters. TIF is the preferred lossless format for print-ready files and further editing in Photoshop or Lightroom.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert an image from Adobe RGB to sRGB online?
Upload your image using the drop zone above, set From to Adobe RGB (1998) and To to sRGB, choose your output format, then click Convert. The converted file downloads directly to your device โ no account or software needed.
Why do my photos look different after changing color space?
Each color space covers a different range of colors. When you convert from a wider space like Adobe RGB or ProPhoto to a narrower one like sRGB, colors outside the sRGB gamut are clipped to the nearest reproducible value. This is expected behavior โ the goal is to map the image as accurately as possible to what the target device can display.
Should I convert to sRGB before uploading to Instagram, Facebook, or the web?
Yes. Social media platforms and browsers assume images are in sRGB. If you upload an Adobe RGB or ProPhoto image without converting, the platform will often misinterpret the color data and display the image with dull, desaturated colors. Always convert to sRGB for any web or social media use.
What is the difference between sRGB and Adobe RGB (1998)?
sRGB covers approximately 35% of the visible color spectrum and is the universal standard for screens, web content, and consumer devices. Adobe RGB (1998) covers roughly 50% and is designed for professional photography and print workflows where richer greens and cyans are important. For anything published online, sRGB is the safe choice.
Can I convert ProPhoto RGB to sRGB without losing quality?
You will not lose pixel data, but some colors in ProPhoto that fall outside the sRGB gamut will be clipped. ProPhoto covers colors that no current display can show, so some loss is inevitable when targeting sRGB. For best results, do all your editing in ProPhoto and only convert to sRGB as the final export step.
Does this tool support TIFF files as input?
Yes. The converter accepts JPG, PNG, WebP, TIFF, and BMP as input. For TIFF output, the file is saved losslessly and is compatible with Photoshop, Lightroom, GIMP, and other professional editing tools.
Is this color space converter free to use?
Yes โ completely free, with no usage limits, no sign-up, and no watermarks on output files. All processing happens in your browser so there is no server cost involved, and the tool is free forever.
