What is a .Procreate file?
A Procreate file is a painting from the iPad app Procreate. Created and opened by Procreate.
- Did you know
- Procreate launched in 2011 and became the best-known painting app on the iPad.
- Procreate is made by Savage Interactive, a studio based in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia.
- Inside the file, each layer is stored as LZO-compressed RGBA tiles together with a thumbnail and an optional time-lapse recording.
- What Analyser reads
- Identify design-app files: Figma (FIG), Sketch, Affinity Photo/Designer/Publisher, Procreate, GIMP (XCF), Krita (KRA), Paint.NET, and Substance.
- Depth of analysis
- .Procreate is an identification-grade format: Analyser recognises it from its bytes and decodes the header metadata it carries, rather than opening it in a full viewer. Formats that do get a full viewer are marked "Full" on the formats page.
- Open a .Procreate file
- Drag a .Procreate file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It is identified entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
