LightPorter
Migrate Lightroom to Photos
Only for Mac
Free · In‑App Purchases
Mac
LightPorter is a macOS utility that migrates your photo library from Lightroom (Cloud and Classic) or Apple Photos while preserving your organization. It exports originals, edited JPEGs, videos, and XMP sidecars, recreating your albums and folders as a directory structure.
What you can do with exported photos:
- Import into Apple Photos — albums and folders are preserved, synced across all your Apple devices
- Keep using Lightroom — manage photos locally without a cloud subscription
- Import into other apps — Capture One, DxO, or any software that reads folder structures
- Backup anywhere — NAS, external drive, or cloud storage you control
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
This update fixes a critical issue where the in-app purchase could not load or complete. If you tried to unlock LightPorter and saw "Product unavailable" or a button with no price, this release resolves it — sorry, and thank you for your patience.
Also fixed: customers who bought LightPorter before it became free to download are again unlocked automatically, as intended. If you don't see your access restored, open Unlock and click Restore Purchases.
