MyPaint als Linux-Alternative zu Procreate
Aktualisiert am
Unser Fazit
MyPaint can replace Procreate for users who need a free, open‑source raster painting tool on Linux and who are comfortable with a minimal interface. It offers robust brush dynamics, pressure sensitivity, layers, and export to common formats, making it suitable for illustrators, concept artists, and hobbyists who prefer a lightweight canvas‑only workflow. However, it lacks Procreate’s extensive brush library, advanced animation tools, and the polished iPad touch interface, so power users accustomed to Procreate’s ecosystem may find it limiting.

Was gleich funktioniert
- Both provide pressure‑sensitive brush painting with configurable parameters
- Both support layers and basic blending modes
- Both export to standard image formats like PNG and JPEG
- Both allow custom brush creation and use of pre‑installed brush packs
- Both are designed for digital painting rather than photo editing
Was anders ist
- MyPaint has a distraction‑free canvas‑only UI, no panels or toolbars
- Procreate offers a richer set of brushes and animation features
- Procreate’s interface is optimized for touch and gestures, MyPaint relies on mouse/pen
- Procreate includes advanced color mixing and blending tools not fully present in MyPaint
- Procreate’s file format (.procreate) is proprietary and not natively supported by MyPaint
Ihre Procreate-Dateien öffnen
MyPaint does not natively open Procreate’s .procreate files. Users would need to export artwork from Procreate as PNG or JPEG and then import those images into MyPaint. Direct conversion is not available.
Von Procreate zu MyPaint wechseln – Schritt für Schritt
- Export your Procreate canvas as a PNG or JPEG from the iPad.
- Transfer the exported file to your Linux machine via USB, cloud, or email.
- Open the image in MyPaint using File → Open.
- Create a new layer if you want to paint over the existing artwork.
- Save your work in MyPaint’s native OpenRaster format or export to PNG/JPEG for sharing.
- Back up your original Procreate files before starting the migration.
