Brush converter for Photoshop, Procreate, Clip Studio and Krita
Drop in a brush file and it comes back in another app's native format — tip imagery, grain, spacing and pressure curves included. Twelve directions, all of them free to try.

What each format gives and takes
Read: Tip imagery, texture/grain with its blend mode and depth, spacing, scatter, and the full pressure dynamics (size, opacity, flow) with their curves and minimum floors.
Written: Dynamics are written as native Photoshop preset controls (size/opacity/flow jitter with pressure control and minimum sliders), and grain becomes a Photoshop texture with the closest blend mode — verified against real commercial .abr files, including hard-mix texture capture.
From Photoshop: to Procreate, to Clip Studio Paint, to Krita.
To Photoshop: from Procreate, from Clip Studio Paint, from Krita.
Read: Shape and grain images, stroke path settings (spacing, jitter), grain behaviour, and Apple Pencil pressure/tilt dynamics.
Written: The output is a modern Procreate brush archive. Real Procreate brushes are rebuilt and re-read in an automated test suite, checking every setting survives the trip. Single brushes export as .brush, multi-brush files as .brushset.
From Procreate: to Photoshop, to Clip Studio Paint, to Krita.
To Procreate: from Photoshop, from Clip Studio Paint, from Krita.
Read: Brush-engine settings, pressure/tilt/speed response curves with their minimums, texture settings (scale, blend mode), and linked materials.
Written: Tip and grain images are available as an optional extra download, in case you ever want to register them by hand (guide linked below). Grain textures larger than 1024×1024 are resampled to fit, and colour-mixing behaviour is approximated for some brush types.
From Clip Studio Paint: to Photoshop, to Procreate, to Krita.
To Clip Studio Paint: from Photoshop, from Procreate, from Krita.
Read: The full preset: tip image, texture with scale and strength, spacing, and pressure curves per parameter.
Written: The tip is embedded directly in the preset and texture settings map onto Krita's 0–200% texture scale exactly. Brushes that mix colour map to Krita's Color Smudge engine behaviour where possible.
