cmyk extractor

world's simplest jpg tool

This is a simple browser-based utility that extracts CMYK color channels from Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPG/JPEG) pictures. As soon as you paste a JPG/JPEG picture in the input area, the utility will extract its Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key channels. You can extract multiple CMYK channels side by side and turn on the grayscale mode that will show the absolute color intensities in each channel. Created by mad scientists from team Browserling.

What is a cmyk extractor?

With this online program, you can extract individual CMYK color channels from a JPG/JPEG picture. The CMYK color space is based on four colors – cyan, magenta, yellow, and key. The key is just a short name for the black color. This color model is most often used in printing machines and physical project designs involving color as cyan, magenta, yellow, and black inks have been found to provide the largest possible set of unique colors when mixed together. In the options, you can select each of the four channels and output them to the screen separately. When more than one channel is selected, they will be displayed next to each other. This gives a great overview of the channels and you can easily see how they compare. Another extra option lets you convert the channels to gray tones. When this option is active, the color isn't displayed and each pixel in the channel represents the intensity of the channel color. A black pixel means the color in the channel is present and a white pixel means the color isn't present. Jpgabulous!

Extract the Magenta Channel

In this example, we extract the "magenta" channel from a JPEG photo of a pineapple. By the intensity of the color, you can easily see where the shades of the magenta color are used the most and where they are used the least. (Source: Pexels.)

Grayscale CMYK Channels

In this example, we activate the grayscale option and extract all four channels of the CMYK color space from a JPG/JPEG image of a cat biting a plant. This option lets us compare the amount of each color in the image. Darker pixels mean there's more of the color in the image and lighter pixels mean there's less color in the image.
