Convert Photoshop brushes to Procreate

Converting a .abr to .brush rebuilds the brush as native Procreate settings rather than a flat image. Tip and grain images, stroke path settings and pressure dynamics are written into a native Procreate archive. The result screen names what carried over from the .abr and what was adjusted to fit Procreate.

How it works

Upload your Photoshop brush. Drop the .abr file into the converter. We support multi-brush files.
Pick Procreate as the target. You can select several targets at once and get one download per format.
Download and install. Send the file to your iPad and tap it. Procreate imports it straight into your brush library. Sets arrive as a single .brushset file.

What carries over

From Photoshop: Brush tips, grain with its blend mode and depth, spacing, scatter, and the full pressure dynamics with their curves and minimum floors.

Writing to Procreate: The output is a modern Procreate brush archive. Brushes are rebuilt and verified against Procreate's native engine. Single brushes export as .brush, and multi-brush files export as .brushset.

Photoshop dual brushes and some scatter jitter combinations do not exist in Procreate. The converter keeps the primary tip, and the result screen names anything that had to be adjusted.

Common questions

Will the brush feel the same in Procreate? Yes. Brushfactory maps your brush directly to native Procreate settings. Strokes are never rasterized or estimated. If a setting has no exact equivalent, the result screen names anything that had to be adjusted.

Is it free? A free account gets you monthly conversions at no cost. Pro removes the limits and adds batch conversion.

What happens to your files? Uploads are converted in memory and deleted immediately. Your brushes remain entirely private.
