What is a PROCREATE file

PROCREATE files mostly belong to Procreate. PROCREATE files are project files created by the Procreate app. They are stored using a ZIP archive format which collects all elements of a drawing.
Inside a PROCREATE file, you will find:

The compressed layers and image data used for digital drawings.

Canvas settings and editing information.

All work details necessary for later adjustments.

FilExt.com tip: This format is designed to work with the official Procreate website. On a PC, you may rename the file to a .zip extension to extract its contents, but full editing functionality is available only within the Procreate ecosystem.

How to open a PROCREATE file

You need a suitable software like Procreate to open a PROCREATE file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your PROCREATE file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a PROCREATE file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

See the previous paragraphs to learn more about the main application. PROCREATE files are often referred to as Procreate raster images because this type of file is primarily created or used by this software.
Procreate
A .PROCREATE file is a compressed archive (ZIP) containing the data of a digital artwork created with the Procreate app. This data includes the layers, brushes, and other resources used in the drawing. Procreate is a raster graphics editor, meaning that the images are based on a grid of pixels, unlike vector graphics, which use mathematical formulas to represent images. Therefore, .PROCREATE files store the information for each pixel of the image, along with other metadata related to the artwork's creation process. This file format is classified as Raster image / Digital art.
