Why can't I download Procreate?

Many of the additions and changes in the latest version of Procreate are based on the latest iPadOS technologies. If you have problems updating Procreate, make sure your iPadOS version is up-to-date.

Can I use 3D objects from the Procreate Model pack for my own work to sell online?

The 3D objects in the downloadable Procreate Model pack are not available for any form of commercial use. You are welcome to paint on them and share your work on social media, but you cannot use any of the Model pack objects for your own licensing or sale. This includes any and all private or commercial sales.

Where has layer opacity gone?

We removed layer opacity from Adjustments in Procreate 5X. But, you can still adjust opacity on the Layer itself. Do this by either tapping two fingers on the layer or tapping Blending Mode on the layer.

In Procreate 5.2 you can paint on imported 3D models, but you can’t create your own 3D models in Procreate.

Can I use the art and videos I make in Procreate commercially?

Any art you create with the tools that come with Procreate and Procreate Pocket by default (brushes and color swatches), including Time-lapse videos, is your content and you can use it however you like. Of course, we'd love it if you let people know you used our apps to create it. Procreate and Procreate Pocket themselves, their graphics, plus the included example artworks and 3D objects are protected by copyright and may not be used commercially or distributed without permission.

Procreate, Procreate Pocket, and Procreate Dreams come bundled with the fonts Eina 01, Impact, and Jack Armstrong BB. These fonts are licensed for personal use only. Smiley Sans is also included in the apps under an open font license, and you may use this font for personal and commercial use.

Other fonts in our apps may be system fonts or fonts you have downloaded to your device. If you would like to use a font in your work, it is your responsibility to check whether a suitable license is available for your intended use.
