We want to help you get the most out of Procreate. Find answers to your questions with these helpful resources and advanced settings.

This takes you to our Help Center , where you can find the Procreate Handbook and various articles to help you learn and use the app.

Here you can also find content about Procreate Dreams, Procreate Pocket and other information pertinent to our apps.

This button takes you to our Support Form . This is how you get direct help from the Procreate team on how to use the app.

Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or trouble!

This button takes you to our Procreate Community , where you can chat with our team and other users of Procreate, share ideas, and contribute directly to discussions about our products.

Sends you over to our Beginners Series on YouTube, which is a great first-stop if you'd like to learn the basics of Procreate, or if you want to freshen up your skills.

This allows you to reattempt the brush upgrade that occurs for users when they update from any version of Procreate prior to 5.4.

This will attempt the migration again, which may be useful if you have run into any issues with the migration process. The migration is moving all brushes you have stored within the Procreate app to the iPadOS file system (the Files app).

Upon a successful upgrade of the brush system, you can use this button to remove the local backup of your old brushes.

This may be useful if your brushes successfully upgraded (migrated) but the Procreate app is taking up too much space in Settings → General → iPad Storage.

If you have been having trouble with the brush upgrade after updating to Procreate 5.4 (or later), you can use this button to send a log of any brush update errors to our team directly.

This will open up your iPad's selected email app and pre-populate it with the log and the recipient information, so you can just send it out and it will reach our team.

We massively appreciate you sending this to us if you do have any trouble, as it might allow us to fix potential issues with brush upgrades.

Opens up additional settings for Procreate, which are located in the Settings app → Apps → Procreate.

You can find more information about the Advanced Settings in the section immediately below.

Advanced Settings

Adjust advanced Procreate settings under the hood in the iPad Settings app.

You can adjust most settings from inside Procreate. Some settings are fundamental to how Procreate’s touch responses interact with iOS. To adjust these you need to head to the iOS setting for Procreate. Tap Actions → Help → Advanced Settings to go to iOS Settings. From here you can adjust these core functions.

Allow Access

Toggle which iPadOS apps Procreate can access.

Allow or deny Procreate access to Photos app, Bluetooth, the inbuilt camera, Siri, and Document Storage.

Some of these permissions are important to Procreate's functionality. For example, you will not be able to export an image from Procreate into Photos without allowing access. You can toggle access off and on anytime in Advanced Settings.

Procreate Settings

Tweak basic Procreate functionality.

Canvas Orientation Memory

Switch this on to make Procreate remember which way you left your canvas oriented.

Fit Canvas Inside Interface

Toggle whether you prefer your canvas to be overlaid by Procreate’s interface or to fit inside it.

Disable Time-Lapse

This toggle turns Time-lapse Video recording for your creations on or off.

Simplified Undos

Toggle whether Undo remembers steps within modes separately, or combined them into a single step. An example of this would be if you perform a series of Transformations on selected content. If you then commit those transformations, Procreate can remember every individual step of the process. Or, it can also remember only the outcome of the transformation.

Simplified Undos are on by default. This means Procreate doesn’t remember individual steps within a mode. This allows you to reach further back when performing Undo.

Maximum Speed Distance

Determine the distance a stroke must travel before its Speed registers as 100%. If you find that brushes with speed-based settings are too sudden or sluggish for you. This is the setting to try changing for better results.

Drag and Drop Export

Set the preferred file format and image format for Drag-and-Drop exports.
