The Procreate to SVG Workflow
Procreate is a raster app — it has no direct SVG export. The workflow goes through PNG then vectorization.
- In Procreate: Actions (wrench icon) > Share > PNG at highest resolution
- AirDrop or save the PNG to your Mac or PC
- Upload to imagetosvg.com to vectorize the PNG into SVG
- Download the SVG and open in Illustrator, Figma, or Cricut Design Space
- For line art and logos: excellent results. For complex digital paintings: results vary by artwork type
Optimizing Procreate Art for SVG Conversion
A few Procreate techniques improve SVG output quality significantly.
- Draw on a white background layer — transparent Procreate exports convert with cleaner edges
- Use flat, high-opacity brush strokes — avoid soft/airbrush edges for cleaner traces
- Reduce to 2–8 colors if intending a cut file SVG
- Flatten all layers before exporting PNG for consistent color rendering
- Use the 'Line Art' preset in imagetosvg for ink-style Procreate drawings
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there an app that converts Procreate to SVG directly on iPad?
Vectornator (Linearity Curve) and Adobe Illustrator on iPad can open Procreate files (.procreate format via File Sharing) and export SVG. This keeps everything on iPad without a desktop step.
Can I vectorize a complex Procreate painting accurately?
Complex paintings with many colors and soft gradients don't vectorize accurately — the result is a stylized illustration. For logos, lettering, and flat artwork: excellent results.
How do I get my Procreate SVG into Cricut Design Space?
Export PNG from Procreate > vectorize at imagetosvg.com > download SVG > upload to Cricut Design Space > select 'Complex' image type for multi-color designs.
Why is my Procreate export PNG resolution limited?
Canvas size determines export resolution. A 4096×4096 Procreate canvas exports at 4096px PNG. Create new Procreate canvases at maximum resolution (up to 16384px for SVG source quality).
