GIMP als Linux-Alternative zu Procreate
Aktualisiert am
Unser Fazit
GIMP can serve as a replacement for Procreate for users who need a free, native Linux tool with a solid brush engine and layer support. It lacks the iPad‑centric UI and some of Procreate's streamlined workflow, but it covers the essential painting and editing features. Artists who are comfortable with a more traditional desktop interface and who need extensibility or batch processing will find GIMP adequate, while those who rely on Procreate's touch‑first design and integrated animation tools may feel limited.

Was anders ist

- Procreate includes built‑in animation and time‑lapse recording, which GIMP lacks out of the box
- User interface is designed for quick, gesture‑driven workflow in Procreate; GIMP has a more traditional desktop UI
- Procreate’s brush library is curated for digital painting; GIMP requires manual brush import or plug‑ins for comparable variety
Ihre Procreate-Dateien öffnen
GIMP does not natively understand Procreate's .procreate or .brush files. You can export artwork from Procreate as PNG, PSD, or TIFF and open those in GIMP without issue. Importing Procreate‑specific brush packs would require conversion tools or manual recreation, which are not officially supported.
Von Procreate zu GIMP wechseln – Schritt für Schritt
- Export your Procreate canvas as PSD or PNG on the iPad.
- Copy the exported files to your Linux machine via USB, cloud storage, or network share.
- Open the files in GIMP and verify layers and colors appear as expected.
- Recreate any custom brushes in GIMP using its brush editor or import compatible .abr files.
- Adjust brush dynamics to match your tablet's pressure settings in GIMP's preferences.

GIMP unter Linux installieren
flatpak install flathub org.gimp.GIMPsudo apt install gimpsudo apt install gimpsudo dnf install gimpsudo pacman -S gimpsudo zypper install gimpHäufige Fragen
Can GIMP use my drawing tablet's pressure sensitivity?
Yes, GIMP works with most Wacom‑style tablets on Linux; enable pressure in the brush dynamics panel.
Is there a way to get Procreate‑style brushes in GIMP?
You can import Photoshop .abr brush packs, which many Procreate brushes are also offered as, or create brushes manually in GIMP's brush editor.
Will I lose layer information when exporting from Procreate to GIMP?
If you export as PSD, layers are preserved. Exporting as flat PNG or JPEG will flatten the image, so use PSD for a lossless transfer.
