What is a .PROCREATE file?
A .PROCREATE file is a type of digital artwork file specifically created in the Procreate or Procreate Pocket apps. These apps are designed for artists and illustrators and are available only on iOS devices like iPads and iPhones. The .PROCREATE file format is used to save complex artworks that include multiple layers. Each layer can hold different parts of the artwork, such as images, adjustments, masks, text, and even animations. This layer-based structure is somewhat similar to what you might find in a .PSD file, which is used by Adobe Photoshop.
The .PROCREATE file allows artists to work with various elements separately without affecting other parts of the image. This is particularly useful in creating detailed and organized illustrations. When you save your artwork in Procreate, it automatically saves as a .PROCREATE file.
To open a .PROCREATE file, you will need to use the Procreate app on an iOS device. There are also specific programs and tools designed for viewing or converting these files on other platforms. For instance, Jarom Vogel Studio Prospect is a program that can open .PROCREATE files. Additionally, the original apps, Savage Procreate and Savage Procreate Pocket, are the primary tools for opening and editing these files directly on your iOS device.
