Why do I need to convert RGB to CMYK?

Digital screens use RGB (Red, Green, Blue) while printers use CMYK. Converting ensures your printed colors match what you see on screen as closely as possible.

Will my colors look different after conversion?

Some vibrant RGB colors cannot be reproduced in CMYK, so slight color shifts may occur. This is normal and expected when preparing images for print.

What file format should I use for print?

For print, export as PNG for maximum quality or high-quality JPEG (90%+). This preview helps you spot any colors that may shift before sending to your printer.
