Your brushes live in Freya Studio, and they are yours to keep: download links do not expire and there is no limit on how many devices you use them on.
Do all of this on the iPad you draw on, so the files land where Procreate can reach them.
Please watch this short walkthrough video:
1. Sign in to Studio
- Freya brushes: studio.freya.courses
- Twotap brushes: studio.twotap.art
Type the email address you bought with and choose Email me a sign-in link. We email you a link that signs you in, good for 24 hours. There is no password to set and no code to wait for.
2. Find your set
Open Brushes and switch to the In your library tab. That tab holds the sets that are actually yours. The Brushsets tab next to it is the whole shop, prices and all, which is why a set you already own can look like it is for sale.
Tap the set to open it, then tap Download to Procreate.
Brushes that came bundled with a course are in a different place: they are in that course's downloads block, on the course page.
3. Unzip it in the Files app
The file arrives as a zip, and Procreate cannot read a zip. Tap the downloaded file and it opens in your iPad's Files app, under Downloads.
Tap the zip once. iPadOS uncompresses it in place and leaves a blue folder next to it with the same name. If tapping does nothing, press and hold and choose Uncompress.
4. Open the blue folder
5. Tap each .brushset file to import it
Import one file at a time. Sharing the whole folder usually fails, because a mixed folder does not offer Procreate in the share sheet. Importing them separately also keeps the brushes grouped and organised.
6. Find them in Procreate
Open any canvas, tap the brush icon, and the new sets are at the top of the Brush Library.
The other route: import from inside Procreate
Open a canvas, tap the brush icon, then the +.
Tap Import and pick the .brushset file from your Downloads folder.
If it will not open
- Save to On My iPad, not a cloud folder. Files left in iCloud or Google Drive show up greyed out until they finish downloading, which looks exactly like a broken file.
- Do not use Import in the Gallery for brushes. The Gallery only takes images, so brush files look greyed out there. Brushes come in from the Brush Library, swatches from the Palettes tab.
- You need an iPad. A
.brushsetonly means something to Procreate, so nothing will open one on Android or in a desktop browser. - Opening the link inside Instagram? Its built-in browser blocks a lot of downloads. Copy the link into Safari instead.
Still stuck? Open your set again at studio.freya.courses/brushes, under the In your library tab, and download it once more straight onto the iPad you draw on. Twotap sets are at studio.twotap.art/brushes, and landing on the wrong one forwards you rather than refuses you.
If the file still will not open, go to help.freya.courses. Every answer we have is searchable there, and the contact form at the bottom of that page reaches a real person who reads it. Tell us the name of the set and attach a screenshot of what you are seeing.
support@freya.art still works if you would rather email.
