Convert GIMP brushes to MediBang

MediBang has no brush file format, so there is nothing to import. The download is the tip image sized for MediBang's brush editor, plus a settings sheet. Add the image through Add Brush (Bitmap) and enter the listed Width, Brush Spacing and Min Width.

How it works

1. Upload your GIMP brush. Drop the .gbr / .gih / .vbr file into the converter. We support multi-brush files.
2. Pick MediBang as the target. You can select several targets at once and get one download per format.
3. Download and install. MediBang has no brush file format. The download holds the brush tip and a settings sheet. In MediBang, choose Add Brush (Bitmap), pick the image, and enter the values from the sheet.

What carries over

From GIMP: Brush tips with their size and spacing from .gbr and .gih files (the first frame of an animated brush), plus the full parametric recipe of a .vbr file: radius, hardness, aspect ratio and angle.

Writing to MediBang: MediBang has no brush file format. The download is the brush tip sized for MediBang's brush editor plus a settings sheet naming the values to enter: Width, Brush Spacing, Min Width. Pressure size carries as Min Width. Other pen dynamics and grain do not transfer, and the result screen names anything that had to be adjusted.
