New Brushes
This is big. Get ready to express yourself in a whole new way with Procreate’s new brush collection. 18 new sets with over 150 brushes built from the ground up with our in-house Brush Developer Kyle T. Webster. It’s like being handed the keys to your own fully stocked art store; one that’s filled with brushes and styles that combine real-world familiarity with the endless possibilities of digital art. The beloved Classic brush library is still available by pinching out.
Brush Search
We see you brush collectors, and we are here for you — brush search has arrived! This highly requested feature will make finding the ideal brush so much faster. To search, simply swipe down in the library and start typing text or emoji.
Brush Libraries
Libraries will take your workflow and projects to a higher level. Build collections containing the brush sets you need most and dive into your creative zone. To access, create, edit, or share libraries, use the pinch gesture in the brush panel. We’ll start you off with two libraries: the new Procreate Library and the Classic Library. What you make next is up to you.
Brush File Management
Sleep better at night by protecting your precious brush collection. Backup, organize and share them right in the Files app. Choose from storing your brushes On My iPad or in iCloud Drive, and if you change your mind, you can move them later in the Actions menu.
New Brush Studio Settings
While crafting the new Procreate Library, we made a bunch of new brush settings. You can now remove anti-aliasing with alpha threshold; perfect for pixel art. We’ve also added more controls for spacing, shape roundness, stroke jitter, and per brush pressure curves.
Brush Preview
Brush thumbnails have been updated to better reflect how brushes mark the canvas. And with the new Preview tab in Brush Studio, you can make further adjustments to how your brush thumbnails appear in the brush library.
Color Improvements
iPad mini owners rejoice. Color history is now visible on all devices, including the small but mighty ones. There are also fresh, new color palettes. If you can’t see them, select ‘Restore example palettes’ from the + menu in the palette panel.
Custom Brush Set Icons
Finally, you can personalize brush set icons to quickly find your favorite sets. Pick an icon from a list or rename your set with an emoji to use that instead.
As always, our team is here to help at support.procreate.com. We’re keen to see how these new brushes thrive out in the wild; if you create something with them, please tag #Procreate in all the right places. 5.4.4 10/01/2025 This update delivers an all-new brush library, bursting with hundreds of wonderful brushes.

Apple Pencil Pro with Procreate unlocks new ways to customize your favorite brushes, introducing new possibilities for your workflow. This update releases support for barrel roll, squeeze and haptic feedback.
Brush Settings for barrel roll
Barrel roll supercharges Procreate brushes in Brush Studio, providing a new way to control shape rotation, stroke jitter, color dynamics, grain rotation, size, opacity and more. You can add barrel roll to many other settings in the Apple Pencil tab, or by tapping the numeric entry button on the slider and switching on barrel roll.
Squeeze
Hover over your canvas and squeeze to select the layer you wish to work on, speeding up navigation on even the most complex projects. Squeeze to pick colors with Eyedropper or use QuickMenu to activate shortcuts without ever touching the screen. Assign squeeze to custom actions with Actions → Prefs → Gesture controls.
Haptic feedback
Haptic feedback provides a more tactile experience when making selection masks, transforming layers, using ColorDrop, drawing QuickShapes and more. Try turning on Snapping on the Transform toolbar to feel the layer snap to the canvas edges.
Liquify Twirl with barrel roll
You now have full control over rotation in Liquify Twirl. Twist the Apple Pencil Pro back and forth to bend your layers exactly how you want them.

We see you brush collectors, and we are here for you — brush search has arrived! This highly requested feature will make finding the ideal brush so much faster. To search, simply swipe down in the library and start typing text or emoji.
Brush Libraries
Libraries will take your workflow and projects to a higher level. Build collections containing the brush sets you need most and dive into your creative zone. To access, create, edit, or share libraries, use the pinch gesture in the brush panel. We’ll start you off with two libraries: the new Procreate Library and the Classic Library. What you make next is up to you.
Brush File Management
Sleep better at night by protecting your precious brush collection. Backup, organize and share them right in the Files app. Choose from storing your brushes On My iPad or in iCloud Drive, and if you change your mind, you can move them later in the Actions menu.
New Brush Studio Settings
While crafting the new Procreate Library, we made a bunch of new brush settings. You can now remove anti-aliasing with alpha threshold; perfect for pixel art. We’ve also added more controls for spacing, shape roundness, stroke jitter, and per brush pressure curves.
Brush Preview
Brush thumbnails have been updated to better reflect how brushes mark the canvas. And with the new Preview tab in Brush Studio, you can make further adjustments to how your brush thumbnails appear in the brush library.
Color Improvements
iPad mini owners rejoice. Color history is now visible on all devices, including the small but mighty ones. There are also fresh, new color palettes. If you can’t see them, select ‘Restore example palettes’ from the + menu in the palette panel.
Custom Brush Set Icons
Finally, you can personalize brush set icons to quickly find your favorite sets. Pick an icon from a list or rename your set with an emoji to use that instead.

Swipe right on all the layers you like the look of, and tap on the Layers title to get some new options. In addition to grouping and deleting in bulk, you can now merge, duplicate and share. You can also Select All and do all those things to all your layers.
There's also a bunch of high value fixes for:

There is stacks more to love in this update too, like search and libraries. We’ve had lots of fun with this massive overhaul. Now it’s your turn.
New Brushes
This is big. Get ready to express yourself in a whole new way with Procreate’s new brush collection. 18 new sets with over 150 brushes built from the ground up with our in-house Brush Developer Kyle T. Webster. It’s like being handed the keys to your own fully stocked art store; one that’s filled with brushes and styles that combine real-world familiarity with the endless possibilities of digital art. The beloved Classic brush library is still available by pinching out.
Brush Search
We see you brush collectors, and we are here for you — brush search has arrived! This highly requested feature will make finding the ideal brush so much faster. To search, simply swipe down in the library and start typing text or emoji.
Brush Libraries
Libraries will take your workflow and projects to a higher level. Build collections containing the brush sets you need most and dive into your creative zone. To access, create, edit, or share libraries, use the pinch gesture in the brush panel. We’ll start you off with two libraries: the new Procreate Library and the Classic Library. What you make next is up to you.
Brush File Management
Sleep better at night by protecting your precious brush collection. Backup, organize and share them right in the Files app. Choose from storing your brushes On My iPad or in iCloud Drive, and if you change your mind, you can move them later in the Actions menu.
New Brush Studio Settings
While crafting the new Procreate Library, we made a bunch of new brush settings. You can now remove anti-aliasing with alpha threshold; perfect for pixel art. We’ve also added more controls for spacing, shape roundness, stroke jitter, and per brush pressure curves.
Brush Preview
Brush thumbnails have been updated to better reflect how brushes mark the canvas. And with the new Preview tab in Brush Studio, you can make further adjustments to how your brush thumbnails appear in the brush library.
Color Improvements
iPad mini owners rejoice. Color history is now visible on all devices, including the small but mighty ones. There are also fresh, new color palettes. If you can’t see them, select ‘Restore example palettes’ from the + menu in the palette panel.
Custom Brush Set Icons
Finally, you can personalize brush set icons to quickly find your favorite sets. Pick an icon from a list or rename your set with an emoji to use that instead.
