Nikon Coolpix 2000s camera filter
Nikon Coolpix is the bright 2000s point-and-shoot look: punchy colour, hard contrast, crisp detail and a sunny cast, like a city afternoon off an old compact. Try it on your own photo here, or take it with you as a free Lightroom preset.

Questions
Is the Nikon Coolpix preset free?
Yes. Both files are free to download and use on your own photos, with no sign up. The .dng works in the free Lightroom mobile app and the .xmp in Lightroom Classic or Lightroom on a computer.
What makes it look like a 2000s camera?
Small compact cameras pushed contrast and colour hard and sharpened everything, so photos came out bright, punchy and crisp with a little noise. Nikon Coolpix brings that back: lifted colour, firm blacks, extra detail and fine grain.
Nikon Coolpix or Cybershot?
Nikon Coolpix is warm and sunny, made for daylight. Cybershot is cool and blue, made for night and flash.
Does this page upload my photo?
No. The look runs in your browser, on your device. Your photo is never sent anywhere, and closing the page clears it.
