You can import any individual Styles and Styles Packs that you own and use in Capture One Pro to your iPad.
Styles purchased from the store can also be imported directly into Capture One for iPad, for instant editing satisfaction on the go.
Importing Styles from Mac
Navigate to: Macintosh HD/Users/YourUser/Library/Application Support/Capture One/Styles
N.B. In Finder, select 'Go' in the top menu bar > hold down the Option key > select 'Library' from this list to quickly access the Application Support folder. It's worth keeping this area as a 'Favorite' in Mac OS so that you can quickly find files that make Capture One unique to your workflow.
Select the individual Styles files (.costyle) or Style packs (.costylepack) (do not select or transfer the folders containing the Styles) from Finder and use Airdrop to send them securely and quickly over to your iPad.
Go back over to your iPad and choose 'Capture One' when asked which application you'd like to open the Styles/Style Packs with.
N.B. If you choose 'Files' when asked what application you'd like to use, save them to the Capture One folder contained on your iPad, as shown below.
On My iPad > Capture One > Styles
Your Styles will now appear in the Styles menu of Capture One for iPad and are ready to be applied.
Where are the Styles actually located?
The Styles files can be found in Files on your iPad:
If you are sending over Styles using another method such as Mail, iCloud or manually transferring the files over, then you will need to place them in the location shown above and then open them in Capture One - similar to how you import Styles in Capture One Pro.
The process of manually adding Styles from Files to Capture One for iPad is shown below:
Importing Styles from Windows
If you are using Capture One Pro on a PC, or your Styles are located on a PC, then your options are more limited.
- Save the Styles and/or Style Packs to a cloud location that is accessible from both your PC and iPad. If you're using iCloud, then your iCloud files will be integrated into your Files app on your iPad. You can also use services such as OneDrive, Dropbox and Google Drive to name a few
- Using a USB-C flash drive or external disk, you can import Styles from within the Files application on your iPad
- Send an email containing the Styles or Styles Packs you wish to install and open the attachment on your iPad with Capture One, or transfer it to the location shown above, within the Files application

Thank you so much! I actually refrained from buying COP for iPad, because I thought importing style packs wasn't implemented. I encourage phase one to publish this information, because others might not come up with this solution either.
There is an issue with styles that rely on color profiles (icm files). Is there a solution?
I've just tried importing my RNI Films 5 styles (based on real-film ICC / icm profiles) as instructed by RNI support.
All seem to work very well and I can use my RNI film profiles (as styles) on iPad.
My only issue is that the mobile version of Capture One does not respect style groups. So on iPad I have just one single "blob" of styles, which is quite hard to use, while on desktop everything is nested neatly according to film type and profile intensity.
I used the same .costylepack file for the installation on both mobile and desktop, so I believe it is Capture One Mobile to blame.
@Hartmut Wilms Do you know what that issue is? I'm using icm-based (.icc file extensions) styles too, but all seems to work fine on iPad. In my case the .icc files were made by RNI (film profile vendor), I didn't try it with my own icm's yet.
@Hartmut Wilms Could you elaborate a little more on the issue? You can always write to support if you think you've found a bug. You'll be able to send the files over for us to test out, as well.
@C3P iO Are you importing style files or style pack files? You can create a style pack by arranging the styles into folders (groups) compressing, and then changing the file extension to '.costylepack'
I'd encourage you to do the same as Hartmut, if you are having problems with .icm files.
I do not know how to import ich or icc files. In the files app, capture one for iPad is not offered as a “target”. If I try to apply an ich/icc based style this style is disabled in CO for iPad.
Oh, I missed your previous post. I guess you are implying that I have to put all style files and the accompanying icm files into a single folder compress it and change the extension to costylepack. After this I have to import the pack and everything’s works out, right?
