About

procreate-to-tif detail

Procreate doesn't make it easy to batch-export your work. If you want layered PSDs or flat renders from a folder of .procreate files, the usual answer is to open each one manually on an iPad. This tool skips all of that.

procreate-to-tif unpacks the Procreate archive format directly on macOS, reconstructs layers from LZO-compressed tile data, and writes out whatever you need: a layered PSD with blend modes and opacity intact, flat PNG or JPG renders, animated WebP or GIF when animation metadata is present, and a stitched timelapse MP4 from the replay segments Procreate stores internally.
