A file with the .ABR extension is an Adobe Photoshop Brushes File. Such files are used to store brushes created in Adobe Photoshop. A brush is a predetermined pattern or stamp that can be used to quickly apply a certain shape, pattern or texture to an image or other two-dimensional file in Adobe Photoshop.
The brushes are typically defined as a set of pixels, known as a particular shape, usually in black and white, however they can be created with color and preloaded settings such as size and shape, as well as several other properties. After the brush is created it is then saved to an .ABR file. This brush file can then be loaded on any computer with Adobe Photoshop installed who wants to use the brushes they contain. The brushes can then be used by the Photoshop user to easily apply certain textures, patterns and shapes to existing artwork or images.

Programs for WINDOWS system
Programs for MAC system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .ABR) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .ABR extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .ABR file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .ABR extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .ABR extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .ABR file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .ABR file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .ABR file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .ABR file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .ABR file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
