Convert ABR to PAT

Understanding the abr and pat file formats

ABR files are Adobe Photoshop Brush files. They store collections of custom brushes used for digital painting and design in Adobe Photoshop. These brushes can have various shapes, textures, and dynamics, allowing artists to create unique effects.

PAT files are Adobe Photoshop Pattern files. They contain repeating image patterns that can be used to fill layers, selections, or shapes in Photoshop. Patterns are useful for creating backgrounds, textures, and design elements.
