What You Can Do with PixelPeeper

Create Presets

Turn any JPG into a Lightroom preset for both desktop and mobile. You can also view XMP presets online without Lightroom.

Guess Missing Edits (beta)

When Lightroom metadata is missing, Look Match uses our custom machine-learning model to suggest likely edits you can inspect or download as a preset.

Camera Settings

See exactly what camera, lens, aperture, and other settings were used. Access complete EXIF data including GPS location.

Preset Detection

Identify which preset was used on any photo. Perfect for finding that preset you used months ago.

Improve Skills

Learn professional editing techniques by analyzing how great photos were processed.

Recover Work

Lost your presets? No problem - recover them from your exported JPG files.

How It Works

PixelPeeper reads EXIF and XMP metadata embedded in photos to reveal exact camera and Lightroom settings. If the edit metadata is gone, Look Match can estimate a likely Lightroom recipe instead.

Two ways to inspect a look:

  • Embedded XMP metadata gives you the original Lightroom settings
  • No XMP? Try a Look Match estimate—currently in beta

Look Match results are estimates, not recovered metadata. Some photos will match better than others. Feedback is welcome.
