It comes with an Animation Assist tool, which enables artists to record all strokes in the form of a time-lapse clip for future reference. Procreate allows designers to create new brushes or customize the textures or effects of existing brushes according to requirements. Professionals can change the style of texts, add typographies across artworks and import custom fonts on the platform. Additionally, it lets users adjust paint filters and add several effects in images, including chromatic aberrations, realistic blur and more. Procreate allows artists to draw shapes, modify or perform color-correction on images, and utilize the drag-and-drop interface to apply colors across specific sections of the canvas. Pricing is available on a one-time purchase and support is extended via documentation, FAQs and other online measures. > > Verdict: Rated **4.8/5** by 130 users.

It's versatil and with my iPad I can use it everywhere > > **Cons**: To be honest I don't have any cons; maybe the fact that sometimes it gets overheat but is only if you use a lot of resources. > > I still remember the first time I used it—I was a little nervous at first, but after just two tutorials, I really grew to love it. Since then, it’s been the only app I use for drawing. ----- ### "Best Tool For Digital Artists" — 5.0/5 > **Harlan** | *20 January 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is a great Programme for casual and beginner artists, very well-designed GUI which can be difficult to navigate for the first few hours. Still, you quickly get the hang of it as it is straightforward when compared to other similar programs. Also, it is cheap compared to similar programs like photoshop. > > **Cons**: It lacks a few core tools which you would expect to be present. For example, there is not a paint bucket tool which for a digital art program is quite surprising. Other than that I have little else to critique > > I have had an extremely positive experience with Procreate, it has taken me from a beginner to an experienced artist and has been a pleasure to use. ----- ### "The best tool for illustrators and designers" — 5.0/5 > **Adele** | *27 October 2025* | Apparel & Fashion | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: 6 month later I love Procreate even more. You buy the app once and you get all the updates for free after that. > > **Cons**: I wish you could somehow choose what layer you draw on without having to click so many times to open the folder list, then the right folder, then the pen, then the screen... The pen size and color for each layer is still not there, and also grouped layer cannot get a mask. > > Discovered Procreate at work and it really changed my professional and private life, not kidding. Also the exporting readiness is a time saver ----- ### "Procreate is great for beginners" — 4.0/5 > **Razaanah** | *16 January 2025* | Arts & Crafts | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love the simple interface. Maybe this was just my experience but I didn’t need in-depth tutorials on how the app functioned. Coming from someone who had literally 0 experience in using digital art applications. > > **Cons**: Due to the simple interface, it packs a few functions found in many other digital art programs. This can be hard when moving onto industry standard software and having no clue because procreate never had them. > > So far I’ve loved my experience with procreate. No issues with losing my work although you should always back up your work regardless. I will continue to use procreate in the future, even when I decide to move onto industry standard software. ----- ### "My favourite digital drawing tool" — 5.0/5 > **Yogesh** | *13 January 2025* | Computer Games | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's an intuitive and fun to use 2D drawing and illustration tool. > > **Cons**: The 3D features are not useful in an actual workflow. Also lacks certain features for manga and comic drawing. > > It's great tool for quick skechers and full illustrations with an extension brush library, built-in time lapse feature and file management system. ----- Page: 1 / 6\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/218431/procreate?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/218431/procreate) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
