How to Import Textures into Procreate

Here's how you import textures into Procreate:

To import textures into Procreate, you simply download the texture files, open Procreate, navigate to the import function, locate your downloaded textures, and import them. They will automatically open as new canvases within the app.

Importing textures allows you to bring external image files into your Procreate workflow, which can then be used in various ways within your artwork, such as applying them to layers, using them for brushes, or incorporating them into compositions. The process is straightforward and involves just a few key steps.

Based on the reference provided, the core steps are:

1. Download the textures: Obtain the texture files you wish to use. These can be from various sources online or files you've created yourself. Textures typically come in common image formats like .JPG, .PNG, or .PSD files. Ensure the files are saved somewhere accessible on your iPad, such as the Files app, cloud storage (like iCloud Drive, Dropbox, Google Drive), or even stored locally within a different app.
2. Open Procreate: Launch the Procreate application on your iPad.
3. Go to "Import": From the Procreate Gallery (the main screen where you see your artwork), look for the "Import" option. It's usually found near the "Photo" option when you tap the plus (+) icon to create a new canvas, or potentially within a canvas itself if you're importing an image layer.
4. Locate your textures: Navigate through your iPad's file system (via the Files app interface that Procreate opens) to the location where you saved your downloaded textures.
5. Import them: Select the texture file(s) you want to import.

Once imported, They will open automatically in Procreate. This means each imported texture file will typically be created as a new canvas in your Procreate Gallery. You can then open these canvases and copy/paste the textures into your desired projects or use them as references.
