Manage ICC Profile

Control color accuracy in your images with reaConverter's ICC profile management. Preserve original color profiles for professional printing or remove them for web optimization when converting between formats.

The ICC profile of an image represents a set of essential data related to how its colours should be rendered, according to standards established by the International Color Consortium. Info included in the ICC profile is related to the number of colors in the image, the color space, which are the lightest and the darkest tones, and how colors are distributed.

The ICC profile is particularly relevant when you upload images from a scanner or a camera on your computer, because it facilitates the correct reproduction of colors, but also when you convert them. Preserving or removing the ICC profile of an image when converting it from one format to the other has a great impact on its appearance, and reaConverter lets you do both with only a few clicks.
