About Procreate
Savage Interactive, in Tasmania, released Procreate for the iPad in 2011, and it became the painting app of the Apple Pencil. A .procreate file is a ZIP that holds the layers as compressed tiles, a description of them in an Apple archive, a picture of the artwork and, when recording was on, its time-lapse video.
Procreate runs only on the iPad and iPhone, so a .procreate file sent to someone on Windows, Android or a Mac usually needs to be exported as a PSD or PNG first.
Filepeek reads the file itself: the artwork as Procreate saved it, then every layer beside it, masks included, to hide, show alone or save as PNG. Time-lapse plays the recording, and the artwork saves as PNG or JPEG.

Questions
How do I open a Procreate file on Windows?
Drop it on this page or choose Peek a Procreate. It opens at once with its layers beside it, with no iPad and nothing to install.
Can I watch the time-lapse?
Yes, when it was recorded. Choose Time-lapse, and the recording plays as a video.
Can I save each layer?
Yes. Pick a layer, then choose Export and Save this layer, or Save every layer for a ZIP of PNGs.
Is my file uploaded?
No. The file opens inside your browser and never leaves your device.
