How to Sell Lightroom Presets Online (Free, 2026)
Presets are one of the easiest digital products a photographer can sell: make them once, sell them forever. This guide walks you through packaging your Lightroom presets and selling them to your followers through a single link.
Quick answer
To sell Lightroom presets, first perfect your edits and export them as preset files (.xmp for desktop Lightroom, or .dng photos for the free mobile app), then bundle them with simple install instructions in one downloadable file. Set up a storefront that delivers the download automatically after payment and share it through your link in bio on Instagram and TikTok. A free tool like onesol.io lets you sell preset packs as digital downloads with payouts going straight into your own Stripe and no commission on sales.
1. Create and export your presets
Dial in a consistent look across a range of photos, then in Lightroom save each edit as a preset and export it. Desktop Lightroom exports .xmp files, while the free mobile app installs presets from .dng photos — export both to reach the widest audience.
2. Package the download with install instructions
Bundle your preset files into a single zip along with a short PDF guide showing how to install them on desktop and mobile. Clear instructions cut down on refund requests and support messages, especially from beginners.
3. Price and bundle your presets
Decide whether to sell single presets or curated packs, and price by size and brand — individual presets often go for a few dollars and full packs for $10–$50. Offer a small free preset as a taster to build your email list and win trust.
4. Sell through a storefront and link in bio
Set up a storefront that delivers the download automatically after payment, then promote it through your bio link. A free tool like onesol.io lets you sell preset packs as digital downloads, capture buyer emails, and take payments straight into your own Stripe with no commission.
