About BRUSHLIBRARY files

The .brushlibrary file format is a proprietary archive used by Corel Painter to store custom brush collections, including brush nib shapes, stroke attributes, and texture settings. It is specifically designed for Corel's advanced procedural brush engine. The primary disadvantage of this format is its strict vendor lock-in. You cannot natively open a .brushlibrary file in other popular digital art software like Adobe Photoshop or Krita. These files typically require a paid license to function correctly, and standard online converters fail to process them because brush settings do not map identically between different software engines. However, under the hood, a .brushlibrary is actually a standard ZIP archive. It contains internal folders with XML configuration files, STK files, NIB shapes, and JPG thumbnails. If you need to use these brushes elsewhere, you can extract the contents to recover the raw texture images.

Convert.Guru analyzes your BRUSHLIBRARY file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted BRUSHSET, ARTSTUDIO_BRUSHES and ABR files.
