Can I Download Lightroom Presets for Mobile?

Here’s How to Get Them on Your Phone (Step-by-Step)

If you're editing photos on your phone with the Lightroom Mobile app, you've probably wondered: Can I download Lightroom presets for mobile?
The answer is yes — and it’s easier than you think.

What Are Mobile Lightroom Presets?

Lightroom mobile presets are pre-made editing filters you can apply in one tap using the free Lightroom Mobile app. They work just like desktop presets but are designed specifically for your phone — perfect for editing on the go, growing your Instagram feed, or keeping a consistent look.

Can You Really Use Presets on Lightroom Mobile?

Yes, absolutely. Even if you don’t have a paid Adobe subscription, you can still import and use presets in the free version of Lightroom Mobile.

Presets usually come in two formats:

  • .DNG files — for mobile installation

  • .XMP files — for desktop use (also works in Adobe Camera Raw)

If you're downloading presets for your phone, make sure they come with .DNG files included.

How to Install Lightroom Presets on Mobile (Quick Guide)

  1. Download the Presets
    After purchasing or getting free presets, save the .DNG files to your phone (Google Drive, Dropbox, or direct download).

  2. Import the DNG Files into Lightroom Mobile
    Open the app → Tap the + icon → Add the .DNG files (they may look like blank images at first).

  3. Save the Preset
    Open a DNG file → Tap the three dots … in the top right → Select "Create Preset" → Name it and save.

  4. Use It Anytime
    Now, whenever you edit a photo, go to the Presets tab and apply your custom look in one tap.

🔥 Pro Tip: Organize your presets into groups (like Moody, Warm, Bright) to speed up your workflow.

Or easier, import the presets on the PC and then login with the same account on mobile, they'll automatically sync.
