These Guidelines apply to use of Procreate* trademarks and copyright by third parties, including use by licensees, customers, and other parties wishing to use any Procreate trademarks or copyright in promotional, advertising, instructional, educational or reference content, or on their websites, products, labels, or packaging.

If you wish to use any Procreate trademarks or copyright in a way that involves direct commercialization, e.g., in paid educational content, in a book, or on a website or in an advertisement promoting paid products or services, you must submit a Permission Request Form to us. We may also consider your request for other uses of Procreate trademarks or copyright at our discretion. You must not use any Procreate trademarks or copyright way in a way that involves direct commercialization, or which is not authorized by these Guidelines if we do not approve your use.

Consult the Procreate Trademarks List for a non-exhaustive list of Procreate trademarks.

1. Authorized Uses of Procreate Trademarks

You may use Procreate trademarks:

to illustrate the purpose and capability of Your Product†, e.g., you can say your brush sets are for use in Procreate or that your drawing accessories are suitable for use in connection with Procreate; and
to reference a Procreate product by way of review, or for instructional or educational purposes, e.g., a review video of Procreate Dreams or a tutorial for character design in Procreate.

2. Unauthorized Use of Procreate Trademarks

You may not use Procreate trademarks:

as a profile or display picture on any account or platform, or as an icon for the display of Your Product. This includes copies or renditions of Procreate trademarks and incorporating a Procreate trademark or part of one into your own design; or
in whole or in part in a URL, handle, trademark, or as part of a product name, business name, or trading name. However, you may use a Procreate trademark to describe the purpose of an account, group, topic, thread, or other online community or platform by referring to a Procreate product (e.g., “Community for Procreate Users”, “Tips for Procreate Dreams”, etc.).

3. Rules for Use of Procreate Trademarks

You may not:

use a Procreate trademark as the most prominent feature on or in Your Product. Your own name, logo, and other brand features must be larger and more prominent than any Procreate trademark you use;
use the word “dreams” or “pocket” independently; references must be to “Procreate Dreams” or “Procreate Pocket” respectively; or
change the spelling, capitalisation, font or format of a Procreate trademark, e.g., “Procreate” should never appear as “ProCreate”, “Pro Create”, or “Pro-Create”.

4. Logo Guidelines:

When using any Procreate logo, you must also adhere to the Procreate Logo Guidelines.

5. Symbols and Attributions:

When using our trademarks, we do not require you to use the ® or ™ symbols. However we do require that you include a notice which clearly states that the trademarks “Procreate”, "Procreate Pocket", and “Procreate Dreams”, and copyright in Procreate products, are owned by Savage Interactive Pty Ltd and are used with authorization. You may use the following or similar wording: “The Procreate, Procreate Pocket, and Procreate Dreams trademarks, and related copyright, in both the branding and software for which the marks are used, are owned by Savage Interactive Pty Ltd and are used with authorisation.”

6. Rules for Use of Procreate Copyright:

You may use screenshots and screen recordings of Procreate products, provided that the screenshots and recordings are captured by you, or your employees or contractors, and do not depict content that is not owned by or validly licensed to you (subject to section 6.b. below). However, you may use our screenshots and recordings in product review content.
Protecting and promoting the rights of artists is important to us. For this reason, you are not permitted to export any sample projects contained in a Procreate product, and you may not share screenshots or recordings of any sample projects contained in a Procreate product in a way that falsely suggests or implies you are the creator of the work. This extends to where you have modified a sample project: making changes to a sample project does not mean you now own the work. You may only share a screenshot or recording showing a sample project, for the purpose of reviewing a Procreate product, and you must credit the applicable artist. You can find the name of the artist in the Canvas Information section in Procreate and Procreate Pocket, or in the Properties section in Procreate Dreams.

7. Names, phrases and images similar to Procreate Trademarks:

You may not create any registration which incorporates a Procreate trademark in whole or in part, or which incorporates wording or imagery which is substantially or misleadingly similar to a Procreate trademark.
You may not use a name, URL, icon, profile or display picture, logo, slogan, or any other word, phrase, or image, that is substantially or misleadingly similar to any Procreate trademark. This includes incorporating any trademark, or part thereof, into another word, phrase or image.
