A fresh, pastel-toned preset inspired by classic Instax instant film, cool neutral tones, soft desaturated color, and that light, airy snapshot charm.
Free Instax Film Lightroom Preset
Instax Film is built around the cooler, softer color science of instant snapshot cameras rather than the warm amber tones of classic film. It pulls the white balance toward neutral, gently desaturates color, and lifts the shadows for a light, airy look that feels casual and fresh rather than moody. It’s the everyday, pastel counterpart to our warmer film presets, made for candid, in-the-moment photography.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of photography is Instax Film best for?
Candid, everyday, and street photography, along with casual portraits where a light, pastel snapshot feel fits better than a warm cinematic one.
How is this different from your Warm Film preset?
Warm Film pushes toward amber and creamy highlights. Instax Film stays cooler and more neutral, with softer saturation and lifted shadows, closer to a real instant snapshot than a warm cinematic still.
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. If you want the full range of film looks, the Ultimate Film Presets Collection above expands on this one.
