Sharing Your Presets

How to share your presets publicly and connect with other creators.

Why Share Your Presets?

Sharing your presets with the Community Gallery is a great way to contribute to the photography community, get feedback on your work, build a following, and help others discover looks they might love.

How to Share a Preset

Navigate to the preset you want to share in your library
Click "Make Public" in the Actions box in the sidebar
If you're on a Presets+LUTs plan, choose whether to share the preset only or the preset and the LUT
Confirm to share your preset with the community

Share preset dialog in Hyperfocal — Share your presets with the community

What Gets Shared

When you share a preset, the community can see:

Preset name: The name you've given it
Description: The generated description for the preset
Your username: So others can find more of your work
Creation date: When it was shared

Your Prompt Stays Private

The original prompt you used to create the preset is not shared publicly. Only the resulting preset and its metadata are visible to others.

No Attribution Required

By sharing your presets with the community, you are allowing other users to download and use them without any attribution required.

Tips for Sharing

Use Descriptive Names

Help others understand what your preset does at a glance. Names like "Golden Hour Portraits" or "Moody Forest Tones" are more helpful than "Preset 1" or "Test."

Share Your Best Work

Quality over quantity. Share presets you're genuinely proud of and think others will find useful. This builds your reputation in the community.

Write Good Descriptions

A good description helps users know if your preset is right for them. Mention what type of photos it works best with, the mood it creates, or any specific characteristics.

Unsharing a Preset

Changed your mind? You can make a preset private again by clicking Make Private in the Actions box in the sidebar on the preset detail page.

Note: Users who already downloaded your preset will still have their copy, but it will no longer appear in the Community Gallery.

Building Your Profile

When you share presets, you're building a public profile that others can follow:

Consistent style: Share presets that reflect your aesthetic to attract like-minded followers
Regular contributions: Active creators tend to build larger followings
Engage with others: Like and comment on presets you enjoy

Ownership & Rights

When you share a preset, you're granting the community a license to download and use it freely, including commercially, without attribution. You remain credited as the creator, but others can use, modify, and create variations from your shared presets. This is the spirit of community sharing.
