Importing brush icons

Jump to Mobile

Some things to know when creating brush icons:

• Recommended size: 512x512px
  This size will accommodate different icon display sizes with different screen resolutions. If the image size is larger than needed it will be scaled down to the required size, but if the image size is smaller than needed the size won’t change and it may not look the way you want it to.
• Supported image format: PNG, JPG, or TIFF
• Custom icons cannot be assigned to brushes which only have basic (no advanced) properties.
