★ KEY FEATURES ★
🎨 COLOR CONVERTER
- Convert between RGB (0-255), CMYK (0-100%), and HEX (#RRGGBB) formats
- Real-time color preview with visual display
- Bidirectional conversion: RGB ↔ CMYK ↔ HEX
- Accurate color space conversion using industry-standard formulas
- Quick reference buttons for 8 common colors (Black, White, Red, Green, Blue, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow)
- Scientific accuracy with proper color clamping and normalization
- Essential for preparing designs for professional CMYK printing
📄 PAPER SIZE CALCULATOR
- Calculate paper dimensions with metric and imperial units
- Support for custom dimensions in millimeters
- Automatic conversion to inches (1 inch = 25.4mm exactly)
- Paper area calculation in square meters and square inches
- Paper weight calculation based on GSM (grams per square meter)
- Quick access to 10 standard paper sizes: A0, A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, Letter, Legal, Tabloid (ISO 216 standard)
- Calculates weight in grams and ounces for any GSM value
- Perfect for estimating material costs and specifications
🖼️ DPI & RESOLUTION CALCULATOR
- Calculate print size from pixel dimensions and DPI
- Formula: pixels ÷ DPI = inches (industry standard)
- Automatic conversion between inches and centimeters (1 inch = 2.54cm)
- Determine required resolution for target print size
- File size estimation for both RGB (3 bytes) and CMYK (4 bytes) images
- Quality assessment based on DPI: 72 (Screen), 150 (Draft), 200 (Standard), 300 (Professional), 600+ (High-End)
- Megapixel calculation for image dimensions
- Common print size presets with correct calculations:
- 4×6 Photo (1200×1800 @ 300 DPI)
- 5×7 Photo (1500×2100 @ 300 DPI)
- 8×10 Photo (2400×3000 @ 300 DPI)
- A4 Document (2480×3508 @ 300 DPI)
- 24×36 Poster (7200×10800 @ 300 DPI)
- Essential for ensuring image quality meets print requirements
📐 ASPECT RATIO & CROP CALCULATOR
- Calculate and simplify aspect ratios using GCD (Greatest Common Divisor) with Euclidean algorithm
- Determine resize dimensions while maintaining proportions
- Scale to Fit calculation (no cropping, maintains full image)
- Scale to Fill calculation (covers target area, may require cropping)
- Calculate exact crop requirements when aspect ratios differ
- Automatic detection of common aspect ratios within 5% tolerance
- Scientific formulas:
- GCD: Euclidean algorithm for ratio simplification
- Scale to Fit: min(targetWidth/origWidth, targetHeight/origHeight)
- Scale to Fill: max(targetWidth/origWidth, targetHeight/origHeight)
- Quick presets for 8 standard ratios:
- 1:1 (Square)
- 4:3 (Standard TV)
- 3:2 (Classic Photo/DSLR)
- 16:9 (Widescreen HD)
- 16:10 (Computer Monitor)
- 21:9 (Ultrawide)
- A4 Portrait & Landscape
- Perfect for preparing images for specific print sizes without distortion
