Today, we’re looking at the best free Lightroom presets. After a quick search on Google, you’ll be flooded with thousands of free Lightroom presets. Some can be very expensive, while others are free.

Presets are a great way to work through your images in [Adobe Lightroom](https://expertphotography.com/go/aff-tradedoubler-adobe-lightroom/). They are adjustments made to an image and then saved for future use. Some photographers or software manufacturers create these presets. Here, we have collected 37 free Lightroom presets covering most photography topics.

## Free Lightroom Presets: Why Use Them?

Lightroom presets are for speeding up your post-processing. They allow you to edit more images simultaneously with a single click. This way, your images can have a uniform tone and atmosphere. All you need to do is paste the settings to all your photos.

It’s perfect when you have a deadline to meet. For example, event photographers almost always use presets.

Everyone can benefit from using Lightroom presets because they are non-destructive. [Editing in Lightroom](https://expertphotography.com/a-complete-guide-to-lightroom-tutorials-and-tips/) is non-destructive. This means you can always go back to the RAW image at a click of a button. You can remove your adjustments easily.

You might add pre-made adjustments to your image, but these can all be tweaked for a personal look. This also hastens your workflow and, at the same time, teaches you how you can reach different effects.

You can easily [install presets in Lightroom](https://expertphotography.com/install-lightroom-presets/) and then easily use them. After that, import your images and start working. Plus, it’s great when you can do it for free!

## Free Lightroom Presets for Landscape Photography

[Landscape images](https://expertphotography.com/landscape-photography-guide-and-tips/) can really benefit from Lightroom presets. Green rolling hills, a mountain in the background, or a water source. Your photo most likely has one or more of these elements.

The following presets help bring out colors. They also bring down the highlights and bring detail out of the shadows. This helps your hills, mountains, rivers, etc., pop!

### 31\. [Vintage Film Lightroom Preset](https://photographypla.net/free-vintage-film-lightroom-preset/)

Another free Lightroom preset from PhotographyPla.net. This one gives a [vintage look](https://expertphotography.com/light-leaks-film/) to your image by adding a [sepia-like](https://expertphotography.com/sepia-tone/) look.

You can also try this for different genres.

### 32\. [Holga Lightroom Presets](https://www.presetsheaven.com/presets/10-free-holga-lightroom-presets/)

These 10 Lightroom presets by Dustin Leader on Preset Heaven are for mimicking the images a [Holga camera](https://www.amazon.com/120N-Medium-Format-Camera-Microfiber/dp/B07ZJYV2JB?keywords=holga%2Bcamera&qid=1673545706&sr=8-3&th=1&linkCode=ll1&tag=expertphotog-20) takes.

These will strongly affect your photos, so you probably don’t want to use them all the time. But it’s definitely worth experimenting with them.

### 33\. [Historian](https://www.presetsheaven.com/presets/old-touch-preset/)

This free preset on Preset Heaven by Darya is a black-and-white one. This also has a strong effect but probably fits more images than the Holga presets.

It mimics an old film camera, and your images look like you were [shooting on film](https://expertphotography.com/shooting-on-black-and-white-film/).

### 34\. [Desert Sun](https://presetlove.com/presets/desert-sun/)

This preset from PresetLove provides an easy way to draw out vivid and warm colors.

Looking at your images after, you can almost feel the heat of the [desert](https://expertphotography.com/beginners-guide-to-desert-photography/).

### 35\. [The Editorial Collection v2](https://expertphotography.com/go/aff-impact-envato-editorial-collection-v2/)

These free Lightroom presets from Preset Works make your photos coherent and beautiful.

This collection contains 13 different presets. All of them give your images a deep and serious look.

### 36\. [VSCO film](https://photonify.com/downloads/free-vsco-lightroom-preset/\#prettyphoto[group-722]/1/)

VSCO created this preset to emulate the Kodak Ektacolor Pro 160. It’s a subtle difference in how it only adds contrast while pulling out a little clarity and vibrancy. It’s subtle yet effective.
