How To Get Free Presets On Lightroom App

A round-up of free lightroom presets for mobile & classic to apply stunning effects to your images in no time. You can download these best presets right away and start editing images with Lightroom Mobile App & Lightroom Classic. Most of these presets don't require making adjustments but it is a good idea to adjust the settings of highlights, exposure, contrast, etc to make sure these presets work exactly as you want to. Apart from just visiting download pages of these presets, do check websites' homepages to get more free mobile lightroom presets.

Lightroom Mobile Presets (.DNG Format) VS Lightroom Desktop Presets (.XMP Format)

Lightroom mobile presets are basically images that come with pre-applied settings. The free presets that you will download from the below-mentioned links will have .DNG format and you just need to copy settings from these files and paste them to your photos in Lightroom mobile app to make them work.

Whereas Lightroom Desktop Presets are not images these are files come with .XMP format and exported by the New Adobe Lightroom CC Classic. Mobile presets are created in Lightroom Classic and they are exported to .DNG format so we can use them with Lightroom Mobile App.

Whether it is mobile or desktop presets, they both work the same but the only difference is you need DNG files to use them on mobile & to use them on the desktop you need .XMP files. Also, you need a Lightroom subscription to use presets on Desktop but you don't need to pay to use presets with Lightroom Mobile as it is free to use.
