The chart below shows the results for canvases up to around 70MP. I multiplied the width and height of each canvas to get an overall resolution and converted to megapixels (MP) for easier to read numbers (i.e. Procreate Alternative for iPad, iPhone, Android and Windows Table of Contents Show Your iPad is the best alternative to a laptop, with more than expected features stocked up ready to use, whether recording video, editing video, playing games, watching movies, etc. I used 2 different iPads, each with 1GB of ram (the orange line (and blue line which overlaps exactly with the orange), an iPad Air 2 with 3GB of Ram (the grey line), and an iPad Pro with 4GB of ram (the yellow line).

1000px x 1000px, 2000px x 2000px, 3000px x 3000px, etc) I noted how many layers were possible on each device. Since I have access to a few different iPad models that I’ve owned over the years, I thought I run a few comparison tests (is it wrong that I was actually excited to collect data and make some graphs?)įor all of the iPads that I had access to, I created canvases of increasingly large size (resolution) in Procreate until the program returned an error that that canvas was too large.įor each canvas resolution (i.e. Procreate has quickly become one of my favorite iPad apps. Meaning that getting the same iPad model with a higher storage capacity won’t make a difference.” “…it’s RAM that determines the maximum layer count for a given canvas size. When I confirmed that RAM was the primary spec that impacted how many canases you could use in a Procreate drawing, I was curious to identify what difference the amount of RAM would actually make.įrom an official moderator in the Procreate forums:
