How To Transfer Procreate Brushes To New iPad
Transferring Procreate brushes to a new iPad is relatively straightforward. You can do this using either iCloud Drive or a cloud storage service like Dropbox.
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to transfer Procreate brushes to your new iPad.
Method 1: Using iCloud Drive
Note: Ensure that you are using the same Apple ID on both your old and new iPads for this method to work.
Step 1: Export Brushes from Old iPad
Open Procreate on your old iPad.
In Procreate, go to the “Brush Library” by tapping the brush icon in the top-right corner.
Select the brush set you want to transfer by tapping on it.
Tap “Share” at the bottom of the brush set.
Choose a location to save the exported brushes, preferably iCloud Drive.
Step 2: Import Brushes to New iPad
Set up your new iPad and ensure you are signed in with the same Apple ID.
Open Procreate on your new iPad.
Access the Files app on your new iPad and navigate to the iCloud Drive location where you saved the exported brushes from your old iPad.
Locate the brush file(s) you exported, usually with a “.brushset” file extension.
Tap on the brush file, and Procreate will automatically recognize it and import the brushes.
Method 2: Using Dropbox (or other cloud storage services)
This is the option for those of you who like to use Dropbox.
Step 1: Upload Brushes to Dropbox (or other cloud storage)
Install the Dropbox app on your old iPad if you haven’t already.
Open the Dropbox app and sign in or create an account if necessary.
Create a folder within Dropbox to store your Procreate brushes if you don’t already have one.
Go back to Procreate on your old iPad.
Export the brushes as explained in “Step 1” of Method 1, but choose to save them in your Dropbox folder instead of iCloud Drive.
Step 2: Download Brushes on New iPad
Install the Dropbox app on your new iPad.
Sign in to Dropbox using the same account you used on your old iPad.
Navigate to the folder where you saved your Procreate brushes.
Tap on the brush file(s) you want to download. Choose “Export” or “Open In” and select Procreate from the list of apps.
Procreate will recognize the brushes and import them into your brush library.
That’s it! You’ve successfully transferred Procreate brushes to your new iPad. You should now be able to use your favorite brushes in Procreate on your new device.
