A nostalgic preset inspired by classic instant film blending warm tones, creamy highlights, and a soft vintage fade.
Free Instant Warm Film Lightroom Preset
Warm Film recreates the look of a classic instant camera, the kind of photo that already looks like a memory the moment it prints. It lifts and fades the shadows, warms the white balance, and rounds off the highlights so nothing ever looks clinical or overexposed. Skin tones stay rich rather than washed out, which makes it especially at home on portraits, golden-hour shots, and everyday film-style photography.

What It Does to Your Photos
Warms the temperature
Shifts white balance toward amber for that sunlit, tungsten-tinted film feel.
Fades the shadows
Lifts blacks to a soft charcoal instead of crushing them, like faded film stock.
Rounds the highlights
Rolls off bright areas gently so skies and skin stay creamy, never blown out.
Softens contrast
Flattens the tone curve slightly for a relaxed, nostalgic instant-print look.
Works Everywhere You Shoot
Frequently Asked Questions
What type of photography is the Warm Film preset best for?
Portraits, lifestyle content, golden-hour shots, and travel photos where a warm, nostalgic instant-film mood fits. It’s less suited to high-contrast product or studio work.
How does it create that warm film look?
It combines a warmer white balance with lifted, faded shadows and a soft highlight roll-off, the same traits that give real instant film its creamy, nostalgic character.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. It’s included in DNG format for Lightroom Mobile on iOS and Android, alongside the XMP and LRTemplate versions for desktop.
Is it really free?
Yes. No watermark, no email gate, no time limit. Download it, install it, and use it on as many photos as you like.
