Photopeais an online image editor that works much like Photoshop and also supports this format.
GIMPis another free image editor that can use ABR files.
Just copy the file to the right folder so that GIMP can see it.
Here’s how it works:
Open GIMP’s GBR file inXnView.
Save the image as a PNG file.
bring up the PNG in Photoshop.
pick the area you want to use as the brush.
Create the brush viaEdit>Define Brush Preset.
Still Can’t Open It?
Download ABRviewer and selectFile>Open brush sets>Open> choose the file >Export>Thumbnails.
You might also have luck opening ABR files directly in GIMP without converting them to PNG.
you might’t add ABR brush files to Illustrator.
However, you’re free to create and add Illustrator brush files with theAI file extension.
To import Illustrator brush files, go toWindow>Brush Libraries>Other Libraryand find the file.
Then go to theBrush Librarypanel > go for the brush to import >Add to Brushes.
