What is a BRUSHSET file?

BRUSHSET files mostly belong to Procreate. Procreate Brush Set File: A BRUSHSET file is a compressed archive in ZIP format that holds a collection of digital brushes, specifically designed for the Procreate app. This file stores both the visual assets and the configuration data needed to replicate brush behavior in digital painting.
Key Details provided by FilExt.com:

Contains multiple brush assets in one package

Uses ZIP compression for efficient storage

Stores configuration settings like pressure curves, textures, and opacity parameters

While you can open this file with a standard ZIP utility on your PC to inspect its contents, full functionality is achieved only when imported into Procreate.
FilExt.com note: Modifying the internal structure without proper knowledge may lead to brush errors or malfunction.

BRUSHSET file format:

The file format determines how the data is stored in the file. The file format can be determined based on the file extension and the signature (the first few characters of a file). If the file extension does not match the file format, double-clicking on the file will cause an error upon opening. So a detailed analysis of a file is vital in order to determine the format and the associated program. Our analysis of the BRUSHSET files produces the following result:

The BRUSHSET file type is a very commonly used file extension and mainly uses a special format. The two most common formats are as follows:

• 98% of all BRUSHSET files use the ZIP format, that is, a BRUSHSET file includes multiple compressed files. A BRUSHSET file contains 21 to 172 files, the average being 99. File names inside are brushset.plist. A little tip: If you rename the file extension to .zip and then double-click, you will see the included files and images. BRUSHSET files are between 1 MB and 42 MB in size. The files contain the following words: AuthorPicture, Brush and archive. Files like these are about brushes, free, brush, pack, procreate, anime, stamps and hair.
• 1% of all BRUSHSET files are based on the well-known Mac2OSX file format. The Mac2OSX format is an AppleDouble format and originally used to store additional metadata on Unix systems. If you open these files in a text editor, you will see only illegible characters. Most of these files are 170 bytes to 380 bytes in size. The following keywords are characteristic: ATTR, Mac OS X and com.apple.lastuseddate#PS.

All other BRUSHSET files (1%) have no uniform format. These files are often connected to texture, poses, watercolor, animal, basics or sample. Drag & drop your file here to see the file format and a preview of your BRUSHSET file!
