Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about how to use Procreate brushes

What's the difference between downloading and adding brushes?

When you download a brush file, it's saved to your iPad. Importing means bringing the brush file into Procreate so that the brush actually appears and you can use it. You need to do both—download first, then import.

Where do downloaded brushes go on my iPad?

They go to the "Downloads" folder in the Files app. If you use iCloud, they may end up there.

Can I install brushes directly from Safari?

Yes, and that's actually the easiest way. Once the .brushset file has downloaded, just tap "Share" in the notification, and it will install automatically.

How many brushes can I install in Procreate?

There's no hard limit. It's best to group brushes into sets and rename the sets you're already using.

Can I use the same brushes on both my iPad and iPhone?

Yes. The brushes work in both Procreate on iPad and Procreate Pocket on iPhone.
