A common mistake when installing <strong>Procreate<\/strong> <strong>brushes<\/strong> is attempting to <strong>import<\/strong> your downloaded files into Procreate directly from the Procreate gallery&#8217;s import button. This will result in your brush files being greyed-out when importing.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, what brush files does Procreate accept? Brushes can either be supplied as &#8216;open&#8217; files (usually several links ending in &#8216;. brush&#8217; which are readable by Procreate), or as a &#8216;zip&#8217; (one file ending in the extension &#8216;. zip&#8217;). Zip files are an easy way to transfer several files in one download, but you will need to extract them before use.Brushsets can only be installed by opening the . brushset file via the files app. Check that Procreate and iPadOS is up-to-date. Quit all apps, restart your iPad then download the files again ensuring you have a stable internet connection.<\/p>\n<h2>Where do I download brushes for Procreate?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>brush files (which are single brushes) and . brushset files (which are packs of multiple brushes).
