Method 1: Cloud Imports
After you’ve found and purchased a Procreate brush set, upload the unzipped content to your preferred folder in a cloud storage service like Google Drive, Dropbox or iCloud. All of these services offer some kind of desktop sync app, so it might just be a matter of dropping your brush files (which in Procreate have a .brush or .brushset extension) to whatever local folder you normally sync. After you’ve made sure that your brush files live in a cloud folder, open the Procreate Pocket app on your iPhone. Open the Brush panel and go to “New Brush”. There will be an option on the top right that says “Import”, where you’ll find different types of cloud services you can pull the file from.
Method 2: Dropbox Sync
Perhaps you’ve used the Dropbox desktop app or to sync files, or you upload files directly on the browser. Our Dropbox integration makes syncing digital assets quick and easy. It allows you to seamlessly sync the fonts, graphics, templates, and other kinds of assets you’ve bought at Creative Market with your Dropbox account. Once they’re synced, your products (including Procreate brushes) will also be available in a “Creative Market” folder within your Dropbox account. Just head over to your Purchases page and connect your Dropbox account, if you haven’t done so yet. Learn more about that process here.
Method 3: Manual File Transfer
Manual just means that you will move the file from your personal computer to your iPhone in some way that is not a cloud service. There are multiple methods here, including emailing the brush files to yourself, but something we’ve found to be particularly fast is Airdrop. This feature allows Macs and iOS devices to transfer files via Bluetooth. Just download your brush files and Airdrop them to your iPhone. The device will immediately recognize them as Procreate Pocket installable files and will automatically open the app with your brush already imported. It’s a quick and seamless method for Mac users.Method 4: Unzipping Files on the iPhone
As of iOS 12, there’s a new native app called Shortcuts that allows you to automate certain processes on your iPhone. Unzipping files is one such process. Here are the steps involved:- Download Apple’s Shortcuts app for iPhone.
- Tap the + button on the top right, then tap the icon that features 2 switches, also on the top right.
- Turn on “Show in Share Sheet”.
- Tap “Accepted Types’” and deselect everything except for “Files”
- Name your shortcut something along the lines of “Unzip Files” and tap Done.
- You’ll see a search bar that allows you to pull specific actions for this shortcut. Search for “archive” and you’ll find the “Extract Archive” action. Add it. Then find and add “Save File”.
- Now every time you encounter a .zip file, tap on the “Share” options and select “Shortcuts”. You should see the “Unzip Files” shortcut you created and be able to use it to extract the files.
