The answer is yes, and in this article, I’ll delve into the various methods and tools that can help you achieve this. Let’s explore the possibilities together.
Understanding Procreate Files
Before we dive into the methods, it’s essential to understand what Procreate files are. Procreate files are typically saved in the .procreate format, which is a proprietary file format developed by Procreate. These files contain all the layers, brushes, and other elements used in your artwork.

One of the most straightforward methods to access your Procreate files from your iPhone is by using iCloud Drive. Here’s how you can do it:
- Open the Procreate app on your iPhone.
- Tap on the “Share” button located at the bottom of the screen.
- Select “Save to Files” from the options.
- Choose “iCloud Drive” as the destination.
- Once the file is saved, you can access it from any device with an internet connection and the Files app installed.
Keep in mind that this method requires you to have an iCloud account and enough storage space to store your Procreate files.
