Convert 3D color look-up tables (CUBE) online for free
The converter easily converts your CUBE 3D LUTs to various formats - free and online. No DaVinci Resolve or or other Settings software needed.
To convert other file formats to the "Color Look-Up Table" file type, you need software like DaVinci Resolve or a similar tool.
The .CUBE file is a text-based 3D Color Look-Up Table (LUT) originally developed by Iridas. It is used to apply predefined color grades, cinematic looks, and color space transformations to video and photo files. Professional colorists manage these files using heavy editing software like DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere Pro, or Adobe Photoshop.
The main disadvantage of the .CUBE format is its lack of native visual preview. Because it is essentially a plain-text matrix of floating-point RGB coordinates rather than an image, your operating system cannot display it. Users are forced to import the file into expensive, heavy software just to see what the color grade actually looks like. Furthermore, large LUT grids (like a 64x64x64 size) often crash mobile video editors or cause extreme performance drops in older software.
To bypass these frustrating limits, you must convert or adapt the file. Convert to 3DL if you need compatibility with older Autodesk or legacy Adobe pipelines. Convert to CSV to parse the raw data matrix for scripting or data analysis. If you need to use this color grade in a mobile app, the best workaround is to apply the LUT to a standard HALD image and save it as a PNG. Drag and drop your file to analyze and convert it - free, online, and without installing software on convert.guru.
Use Convert.Guru to open and convert your CUBE file.
Users also converted LUT, DNG, CUB, XMP, ZIP, ICC, VLT, PRFPSET, JPG, TXT, 3DL, RAR and VNCUBE files.
If you want to convert CUBE file to XMP, DNG, LUT, AML, CBM, ZIP, RAR, 7Z, TAR, GZ, BZ2 or XZ, you can use DaVinci Resolve or similar software from the "3D Color Grading Data" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert XXE, 7Z, Z, PAK, LHA, DEB, UUE, TAR, LZH, ZIP, PKG or RAR files to CUBE, try DaVinci Resolve or another comparable tool in the "3D Color Grading Data" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our CUBE converter.
