Convert PaintShop Pro brushes (JBR) online for free
The converter easily converts your JBR brushes to various formats - free and online. No PaintShop Pro or or other Settings software needed.
To convert other file formats to the "Brush Preset File" file type, you need software like PaintShop Pro or a similar tool.
A .jbr file is a proprietary brush preset used by Corel PaintShop Pro (formerly developed by Jasc Software). These files store graphic shapes, texture parameters, and alpha masks used by the brush tool to paint custom elements onto a digital canvas.
Users encounter severe limitations when trying to use .jbr files today. Because the format is closed and proprietary, the data is entirely locked into the Corel ecosystem. If you switch to industry-standard applications like Adobe Photoshop or GIMP, your legacy brush library becomes instantly inaccessible. Furthermore, you cannot preview a .jbr file natively in web browsers or standard operating systems without paying for a Corel license.
To rescue these assets, the best target formats are ABR (Photoshop brushes) or PNG (raster images with transparent backgrounds). Exporting the raw brush shape as a PNG allows you to manually rebuild the brush in any modern graphic design suite.
Unfortunately, standard online converters routinely fail to process .jbr files. The internal binary structure is undocumented, meaning typically only the original software can properly read or export the graphics. convert.guru offers a pragmatic workaround: just drag and drop your file to identify the format, view it, and convert it when possible. If our analysis detects supported underlying raster data, viewing or extraction might still be possible. Note: In rare industrial contexts, a .jbr file may instead be a plain-text Job File for a Yaskawa Motoman robotic arm.
Use Convert.Guru to open and convert your JBR file.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our JBR converter.
