Why the colour profile matters
A colour profile tells apps how to turn an image's numbers into real colours. The same file can look vivid in one app and dull in another if its profile is wrong or ignored.
sRGB is the safe choice for the web. Display P3 and Adobe RGB hold more colours for modern screens and print, and CMYK profiles describe printing inks. This tool tells you which one a file uses.

Questions and answers
How do I check if an image is sRGB or Adobe RGB?
Drop it into the box above. You'll see the name of its colour profile and what that means for web and print.
Why do my photos look dull online?
They're probably in Adobe RGB or ProPhoto RGB. Many web apps don't convert them, so colours look washed out. Export a copy in sRGB for sharing.
What is Display P3?
A wider colour space than sRGB, used by iPhones, Macs and many new screens. Photos taken on an iPhone are usually Display P3.
What colour profile should I use for printing?
Ask your printer. Many accept sRGB or Adobe RGB and convert it themselves; professional presses may want a specific CMYK profile.
What if my image has no profile?
Apps then assume sRGB. That's fine for most web images and screenshots, but a photo from a wide-colour camera may look off without its profile.
