Brusher

Brusher provides digital art brushes for Procreate on iPad and for Photoshop and Clip Studio Paint on desktop. Its library is described as containing 3,000+ brushes across 200+ collections. Procreate collections install with a tap using .brushset files, while Photoshop and Clip Studio Paint use .abr packs on Mac and PC. The app also includes a Vectorizer that turns JPG or PNG images into SVG, and a Background Remover that creates transparent PNG cut-outs. Brusher is free to download and includes free brushes; its website offers free starter packs without requiring an account. Paid options include subscriptions and individual packs: a website brush pack is listed at $5, paid once, while in-app subscriptions include weekly, monthly, and yearly access. Brushes may be used to create and sell personal or commercial artwork, but brush files cannot be redistributed or resold. App purchases are sold through the Apple App Store, while website purchases are processed by LavaTop.

Brusher offers brushes for three named art apps alongside image-conversion and background-removal tools. Review the file-sharing restriction and available purchase options before choosing a pack or subscription.

Brusher suits beginners, illustrators, tattoo artists, comic artists, and lettering artists working in Procreate, Photoshop, or Clip Studio Paint. Its brushes can be used in personal or commercial artwork, subject to limits on sharing the files.

Brusher is a brush library and image-tool app for artists using Procreate, Photoshop or Clip Studio Paint. It suits beginners and working illustrators who want brushes for those apps, with commercial-use rights for finished artwork. Its range of purchase options is useful, but the weekly subscription is costly to maintain and brush files cannot be resold or shared.

Overview

Brusher brings a library of more than 3,000 brushes across more than 200 collections together with a Vectorizer and Background Remover. The Vectorizer converts JPG or PNG images to SVG; the remover creates transparent PNG cut-outs. These utilities broaden the app beyond brush shopping, though the core appeal remains its collections for three named art apps.

Free brushes are available in the app, and the website offers starter packs without an account. Paid access ranges from individual packs to subscriptions and lifetime access. Brush users can sell artwork made with them, but cannot redistribute or resell the brush files.

Key features

Brushes and formats

Procreate collections install with a single tap and use .brushset files. Photoshop and Clip Studio Paint use a single .abr pack on PC and Mac. That split makes the library practical across the supported apps, while buyers should check that a pack matches their target software. The entry specifies 11 included brushes; the broader app library is described as 3,000+ brushes across 200+ collections.

Image tools and licensing

The Vectorizer and Background Remover cover two common file-preparation tasks alongside the brushes. Commercial use applies to artwork made with the brushes, including work sold by the user; it does not extend to reselling or redistributing the brush files. That distinction matters for collaborators and anyone hoping to pass packs on.

Privacy and support

Website analytics are anonymous by default, and an analytics cookie is set only when a visitor accepts the cookie banner. LavaTop processes card details for website purchases, and Brusher says it does not see or store full card details. The privacy policy describes access, correction, deletion, export, objection and restriction rights depending on location, and says personal data is not sold. Questions, licensing and support requests go through the contact page.

Pricing

Free brush packs cost nothing and include starter packs with no account required. This is the sensible starting point for testing whether Brusher's brushes suit a workflow; it does not unlock the premium collections included with paid access.

The Weekly Plan is $4.99 a month, billed weekly, and unlocks premium collections through an in-app subscription. The Monthly Plan costs $9.99 a month, billed monthly, for the same stated access. Weekly billing makes the lower displayed monthly amount a poor fit for anyone who expects to keep subscribing: the renewal cadence is much more frequent.

Yearly Access costs $24.99 a year, billed yearly, and also unlocks premium collections. It suits users who want continuing access and are comfortable with an annual term. Life-time Access costs $99.99, paid once as a one-time in-app purchase and offers lifetime access, making it the option for committed users who prefer not to renew.

A Website brush pack costs $5, paid once for one premium pack, with free future updates. This is the clearest choice for someone who wants a particular collection without a subscription; it does not provide the broader premium-collection access of subscription plans. Website purchases are processed by LavaTop, while app purchases are sold through the Apple App Store.

Platforms

Brusher is listed for iOS, macOS and Windows. Its supported art apps are Procreate, Adobe Photoshop and Clip Studio Paint; Procreate brushsets are for iPad, while the .abr pack supports Photoshop and Clip Studio Paint on PC and Mac.

Who it's for

Brusher names beginners, illustrators, tattoo artists, comic artists and lettering artists as its audience. It is best suited to people already working in one of its supported apps who want a broad brush selection, occasional image conversion or cut-outs, and the option to use brushes in commercial artwork. It is less suitable for people whose main need is a shareable brush library or who want artwork tools outside those three apps.

Pros and cons

• Pros: More than 3,000 brushes across 200+ collections offer substantial choice for supported apps.
• Pros: Free brushes and no-account starter packs let artists begin without a purchase.
• Pros: Commercial artwork is allowed, and individual packs include free future updates.
• Pros: Vectorizer and Background Remover add SVG conversion and transparent PNG cut-outs.
• Cons: Brush files cannot be redistributed or resold, limiting sharing and resale workflows.
• Cons: The Weekly Plan bills $4.99 a month weekly, so ongoing access renews frequently.
• Cons: The app's brush formats and supported apps may not suit artists using other software.

Alternatives

Choose DAUB Brushes if you want an iOS brush option with free Clip Studio Paint pencils and a separately priced marker set. Frankentoon Studio is worth comparing if you want a free 10-brush Procreate starter pack or a one-time Procreate sketch kit. Choose Krita instead if a free, open-source art application across Android, Linux, macOS and Windows matters more than buying brush packs.

LaneDraws is another brush and art-resource option. Clip Studio Assets is another freemium materials library. Bardot Brush offers another iOS brush option. GrutBrushes is another brush option with free and paid offerings. RetroSupply Co. is another Procreate collection option.

Verdict

Brusher is a strong fit for artists in Procreate, Photoshop or Clip Studio Paint who want a large brush library, commercial artwork rights and useful image utilities in one offering. Start with the free packs or buy one website pack if you need a specific collection. Look elsewhere if file sharing is important, and weigh the weekly renewal cadence carefully before choosing that subscription.
