Gimp at the moment is a 100% RGB editor. The developers are working on it, some improvements to importing CMYK images, but still RGB. You will have to wait probably until Gimp 3.xx
You can (sometimes) open a CMYK image in Gimp but it is converted to RGB and you will edit in RGB and it is saved/exported in RGB unless...
No need to use an online converter, there is a converter here https://cyan.fxarena.net/ that can be used stand-alone or when run also installs as a Gimp plugin.
see: https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-CMYK-c...4#pid19264 (also go back to the start of that thread, it is a bit convoluted)
Since Gimp will always edit in RGB, (also true of Paint...etc) use Krita http://www.krita.org which can convert between RGB <> CMYK and edit in either mode.
First of all thank you for message above.
Sorry for the delay in answering due to my trying to figure out how CYAN.fxarena.net works.
As I am not very technical and new to this RGB / CMYK subject, do you know if there is a youtube tutorial somewhere about CYAN where it explains how to convert an image from RGB to CMYK ?
For one thing, on the free site I use: rgb2cmyk.org, I have always selected the SWOP2006 CMYK output format which I can't find in the CYAN software.
Thank you
