There are many ways to install palettes (swatches) in Procreate. Here is a simple one.

After you download the package unzip and transfer the files to your iOS device (if you downloaded on PC) or upload to any cloud storage that is accessible from the iPad / iPhone. Remember the directory where the files are. Open the Files app (blue folder icon) and browse to the directory.

There are two options from here:

If the palette file is associated with Procreate, tapping on the icon will open the Procreate app and install the swatches automatically. That works with most devices.

If tapping on the palette file opens other app, back to the Files app and tap Select.

Select the file(s) you want to install and tap Share.

Find the Procreate icon in the popup menu and tap it.

If the Open in Procreate icon doesn’t exist, tap More and add it. (If the icon is missing you may need to update or reinstall the Procreate app.)

You can access the palette by tapping the Palettes tab from the Color menu.

The same method works fine with the brush and brushset files.

Since in the new 4.1 update installing the custom Procreate brushes is piece of cake, we have updated all our brush packages to the new single “.brushset” file. We kept the “.brush” files for those with earlier version of Procreate. If your iOS is older than 11.0 take a look at this tutorial.

After you download the package unzip and transfer the files to your iOS device (if you downloaded on PC) or upload to any cloud storage that is accessible from the iPad / iPhone. Remember the directory where the files are.

Open the Procreate app and open or create a document.

Tap the brush icon and create new set. Name it like the set you are about to install or with any other descriptive name.

Swipe up from bottom of the screen to access the iOS speed menu and drag the blue folder to the side, navigate to the folder with the brushes and tap the “brushset” file or drag the  “brush” files in the set that you created before.

That’s all. Enjoy creating!

All packages come in zip archive. To use brushes, templates or other stuff you need to extract.  It is pretty simple. There are a lot of apps that handle this type of file. If you have not installed such software here are the solutions:

On Mac – double click the zip file and it will be extracted in the same directory as a folder.

On Windows 7/8/10- right click on the file, select extract all and choose a  directory. A folder will appear with the same name as the archive.

On iOS – you need to install an application. You can find one here. Follow the instructions of the preferred app.
