Why CMYK matters

IngramSpark and B&N Press print in CMYK. If you submit RGB images, their system converts them automatically — but the conversion can shift your colors in unexpected ways. Converting yourself gives you control.

What Ghostscript does

This tool uses Ghostscript — the same engine professional print shops use — to convert every RGB image in your PDF to CMYK using the FOGRA29 (ISO Uncoated) color profile, which matches IngramSpark's printing stock.

KDP is different

KDP Print actually prefers sRGB — selecting KDP above will convert your file to sRGB instead of CMYK. This matches Amazon's printing workflow and produces more accurate colors on KDP paperbacks.

File safety

Your file is uploaded, converted, and deleted. We don't store your manuscript or cover art. Files are permanently wiped from our servers within 24 hours.
