Color.io shutdown:
your questions answered.
What happened to Color.io?
Its online service closed on 31 December 2025. This page helps you continue photo editing with PresetCan.
Can I still use Color.io offline?
A legacy offline edition was provided for Pro users, without future updates. If you already have a copy, it is separate from the closed web service.
Is PresetCan a good Color.io alternative?
For film-inspired still-photo color, supported RAW files and frames, it is a workflow worth trying. It does not replace Color.io’s 3D LUT or video grading workflow.
Can I recover or move my Color.io projects?
The shutdown announcement said accounts and cloud projects would be deleted. PresetCan cannot recover that data or import Color.io project files. Start from originals or exports you already saved.
Does PresetCan support RAW photos?
Yes, supported RAW files decode in your browser. The file limit is 40 MB and RAW decoding is limited to 32 megapixels. If a camera format fails, develop it elsewhere and open a JPEG or PNG.
Can I create or export 3D LUTs?
PresetCan currently exports finished JPEG or PNG photographs, not 3D LUTs. Keep a dedicated LUT tool if you need to move grades into a video editor.
Does my photograph leave my device?
Standard editing happens locally. AI Color Match uploads reduced working copies for analysis; the resulting look is applied locally. Read the privacy policy for details.
Do I need an account, and what does it cost?
Sign-in is required to edit. Plan benefits and AI credits depend on your account; check PresetCan pricing for current access, export options and purchase availability.
