Procreate ABR Converter

About This Tool

This tool converts Procreate brush sets into Photoshop ABR files by translating brush data into ABR-compatible constructs. It targets professionals who maintain cross-platform art pipelines and need to reuse textures and brush shapes. Conceptually, Procreate stores brushes as sets with metadata; Photoshop ABR stores brush data in a format of stroke, shape, spacing, scatter, and dynamics. The converter reads the source, applies mapping rules, and outputs an ABR file that Photoshop can load into its Brush panel. It preserves brush size, opacity, density, shape, and stamp behavior where possible, while gracefully handling attributes with no direct ABR equivalent. The process supports batch conversion of multiple brushes within a set and validates file signatures and version compatibility. The tool is designed for professional workflows, asset migrations, and design handoffs, delivering a compatible brush asset with predictable results. Assumptions include valid Procreate assets with recognizable metadata and ABR compatibility for the target Photoshop version. Exclusions cover features unique to Procreate that lack ABR equivalents; the converter does not edit or optimize source brushes beyond format translation. In production contexts, it can be integrated into asset pipelines with versioned outputs and basic audit logging. The tool emphasizes safe, non-destructive processing and clear failure messages when translation is not feasible, ensuring teams maintain control over asset quality.
