Extract text from LUT files
To convert your LUT file to another format, you need Assetto Corsa or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Simulation Data File" file type, you need software like Assetto Corsa or a similar tool.
The .lut file extension serves two distinct, high-performance communities: racing simulation enthusiasts and digital imaging professionals. Primarily, these files function as Look-Up Tables for the Assetto Corsa racing simulator, storing critical force feedback (FFB), engine power curves, or aerodynamic data. While essential for realistic driving physics, these files are often raw data arrays that are difficult to visualize or edit manually without introducing syntax errors that crash the simulation. Users frequently need to convert these proprietary tables into standard CSV or TXT formats to analyze telemetry data in spreadsheet software or fine-tune force feedback curves using external tools like LUT Generator.
In the realm of scientific imaging and visual effects, .lut files are used by software like ImageJ and DaVinci Resolve to map input color values to output colors (Color Look-Up Tables). A common difficulty is that a binary or proprietary .lut from scientific software or older game engines (like the Quake engine) is often incompatible with modern video editors. For creative work, the best practice is to convert these specialized LUTs into universal CUBE or 3DL files for broad compatibility, or to PNG halftones for web-based styling.
Convert.Guru analyzes your LUT file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted CUBE, DNG, XMP, 3DL, PNG, ILUT, LOOK, JPG, AML, BMCPRESET, !UT, ZIP and TXT files.
If you want to convert LUT file to XMP, CUBE, PNG, DNG, AML, MP4, AVI, MOV, WMV, FLV, WEBM or MKV, you can use Assetto Corsa or similar software from the "Data Look-Up Table" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert MTS, MOV, RMVB, DIVX, RM, H264, TS, WMV, VOB, MP4, XVID or AVI files to LUT, try Assetto Corsa or another comparable tool in the "Data Look-Up Table" 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 LUT converter.
