What’s my iPad’s maximum layer limit?
The maximum layer limit for a canvas in Procreate is determined by two main factors — your iPad model’s RAM and the pixel dimensions of your canvas. If you are unsure what your layer limit will be before starting a project, use the calculator below to check if you will have the number of layers you need.
Heads Up
The calculator won’t show DPI if canvas width and height are set to pixels (px). If you need to factor DPI into your project, set the units to centimeters (cm), millimeters (mm) or inches (in).
Pro Tip
For digital art intended for on-screen viewing, it's best to start by creating a canvas using pixels. If you need to change your artwork for print, you can alter the DPI later at any point without affecting your layer count.
