It may sound like a silly qestion but I upload my designs to a website that will later print them onto garments and other stuff. I saw on the website that I should be converting my designs to RGB before uploading them. I haven't had any troubles with it so far but I'm wondering whether it's something I actively need to do if the box for sRGB is ticked.

I've been working in CMYK but then always save them as a PNG which I thought you couldn't do unless they're RGB.

Logic dictates that if you have convert to sRGB ticked, things are converted to sRGB. sRGB is RGB, it's merely a specific (and common) RGB color profile.

If the final product is reproduced in RGB, it would be best to work in RGB if possible. Color conversion can introduce unwanted colors, although converting from CMYK to RGB is generally less problematic than vice versa.
