What is the XMP to CUBE Converter?
A LUT (look-up table) is a colour recipe: every colour that goes in has one colour that comes out. Video editors, Photoshop and many cameras use LUTs in .cube files, while Lightroom keeps its looks as XMP presets. The XMP to CUBE Converter reads the preset's colour settings and bakes them into a 3D LUT, so one look works across your photos and videos.
It works out white balance, exposure and the Basic tone sliders, the tone curves (red, green and blue too), HSL, vibrance and saturation, colour grading and split toning, black & white mixes and calibration. A profile XMP that already holds a LUT is copied point for point. Adobe's own processing is not public, so a preset's colours come out close to Lightroom's, not identical; clarity, texture, dehaze, sharpening, grain, vignette and masks depend on the pixels around each one and cannot be part of any LUT.

Tips for the best result
- 01
Tip 1: 33 points is the usual LUT size and works everywhere; choose 65 for very smooth skies and skin.
- 02
Tip 2: Presets made for raw photos use a Kelvin white balance; the LUT reads it against daylight, so check skin tones on a photo of yours.
- 03
Tip 3: In Premiere or Resolve, put the LUT on an adjustment layer and lower its opacity to soften the look.
- 04
Tip 4: A profile with its own LUT (made with Adobe's Create Profile) converts exactly; a note under the upload box says when.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between an XMP preset and a CUBE LUT?
An XMP preset is a list of Lightroom slider settings that Lightroom works out on each photo. A CUBE LUT is a fixed table of colours that almost any photo or video program can read. Converting turns the preset's colour settings into that table.
Will the LUT look exactly like the preset?
Close, not identical. Adobe does not publish how Lightroom processes its sliders, so the colours are worked out the way each slider behaves. A profile XMP that holds its own LUT is copied exactly.
What is not in the LUT?
Anything that depends on the pixels around each one: clarity, texture, dehaze, sharpening, noise reduction, grain, vignette, lens corrections and local masks. No LUT can hold those, from any converter.
Which programs open a .cube file?
Photoshop (Color Lookup), Premiere Pro and After Effects (Lumetri), DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, Affinity Photo, OBS, CapCut, and many cameras and phones that take custom LUTs.
Which LUT size should I choose?
33 is the usual size and the best default. 17 is smaller, for cameras and apps with limits; 65 is finer for smooth skies and skin, with a bigger file.
Is my preset uploaded?
No. The XMP is read and the LUT is made in your browser; nothing leaves your device. It is free, with no account.
