How to use the DNG to XMP Converter
Turn a DNG preset into an XMP preset. The edit saved in the DNG photo, from exposure and curves to HSL, colour grading and grain, becomes a preset file Lightroom imports. Free and private.

What is the DNG to XMP Converter?
Many presets are sold as DNG files: a photo with the edit saved inside, made to be copied in Lightroom mobile. The DNG to XMP Converter reads that edit from the file and writes it as a real XMP preset you can import once and apply with one click, on mobile and desktop.
It keeps what makes the look: the Basic panel, white balance, tone curves (red, green and blue too), HSL, colour grading, detail, grain, vignette and calibration. What belongs to that one photo stays out, as in Lightroom's own Create Preset: the crop, spot removal, lens corrections and the transform.

Tips for the best result
- 01
Tip 1: A DNG preset is a photo: its edit, not its picture, becomes the preset.
- 02
Tip 2: Converting a whole pack? Switch to “Many presets”, drop up to 200 DNG files and download one ZIP.
- 03
Tip 3: Import the XMP in Lightroom from the Presets panel with Import Presets; on mobile it syncs from Lightroom on the desktop.

Tip 4: Keep the DNG: the converter does not change your file.
Frequently asked questions
What is a DNG preset?
A photo in Adobe's raw DNG format with a Lightroom edit saved inside. In Lightroom mobile you open it, copy its settings and paste them on your photos. An XMP preset does the same in one tap, everywhere.
Which settings are converted?
Everything that makes the look: the Basic panel, white balance, tone curves (including red, green and blue), HSL and black & white mix, split toning and colour grading, sharpening and noise, grain, vignette and calibration.
What is left out?
Settings that belong to that one photo, as in Lightroom's own Create Preset: the crop, spot removal and red eye, local masks, lens corrections and the transform. A profile embedded in the DNG becomes Lightroom's default profile.
Will the colours match?
Yes. The values are copied from the DNG as they are. Lightroom stores a few of them rounded in the photo (a sharpening radius of 1.05 is saved as 1.1), so the XMP carries the same rounded value.
Is my file uploaded?
No. The DNG is read in your browser and never leaves your device.
Is it free?
Yes, free and unlimited, with no account.
