LUT to Lightroom Converter

Not directly: Lightroom does not read .cube files. You can put a LUT into a profile through Photoshop (Camera Raw, Create Profile), but that takes a computer with Photoshop and some time. This converter does the same in a second, in the browser, even on a phone.

The .xmp is the preset itself: import it into Lightroom on a computer, into Camera Raw or into Lightroom on a phone. The .dng is a photo that already carries your look. The free Lightroom Mobile app opens it like any photo, and a couple of taps turn it into your own preset.

32×32×32 is the largest table Lightroom reads. 33 and 65 point LUTs are resampled from their own values. On our LUTs the average difference is below one ΔE unit, which the eye can’t see. Small differences can appear only in the brightest colors of very harsh LUTs.

Only if you tick “Send my .cube file to GradeColor” under the file button yourself. Then only the .cube itself is sent to us, without photos or personal data, so we can see which LUTs people use and improve the converter. We never publish or sell the files we receive. Without the tick the file is read and converted right in your browser and goes nowhere. Photos for the before / after view are never uploaded.

LOG LUTs (S-Log, V-Log, I-Log, D-Log) turn the flat grey camera image into normal contrast. A photo in Lightroom is already developed, so such a LUT makes it far too contrasty and loud. For photos use creative LUTs made for Rec.709 or sRGB.

.cube files of any size (17, 33, 65 and up), 3D and 1D. You can load several at once and download everything as one ZIP. .3dl, .look and .csp are not supported yet: save the LUT as .cube in DaVinci Resolve or Photoshop.

Yes. The preset and the profile both have an Amount slider from 0 to 200%. Every other setting (light, white balance) stays free, the look sits on top.

Yes, no sign-up and no limits. If you want ready-made looks already tested on phone photos, have a look at our packs below.
