Convert PaintShop Pro brushes (PSPBRUSH) online for free
The converter easily converts your PSPBRUSH brushes to various formats - free and online. No PaintShop Pro or or other Settings software needed.
To convert other file formats to the "Raster Brush Preset" file type, you need software like PaintShop Pro or a similar tool.
The .pspbrush file is a proprietary brush preset used exclusively by PaintShop Pro. It contains a raster graphic serving as the brush tip, alongside parametric settings dictating stroke dynamics like opacity, spacing, scatter, and rotation.
While functional within its native ecosystem, the .pspbrush format suffers from severe interoperability limitations. It is highly proprietary and fundamentally incompatible with industry-standard digital painting tools like Adobe Photoshop, GIMP, or Krita. Designers transitioning away from PaintShop Pro risk losing their entire custom brush libraries, as these files cannot be opened natively elsewhere and require a paid software license to access.
To break free from this vendor lock-in, you need to convert the file. For universal image access, converting the .pspbrush file to a PNG extracts the grayscale brush stamp, allowing you to recreate the brush manually in any graphics editor. If you are migrating to Adobe Photoshop, converting to an ABR file is the best approach, though be aware that complex physics variables (like tilt or fade dynamics) are often lost during translation. Drag and drop your file to analyze and convert it - free, online, and without installing software.

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 PSPBRUSH converter.
