More creativity
for your designs

The ideal drawing experience

Draw exactly as you imagine with our powerful brush engine, in‑built line stabilization options, and adjustable pen pressure sensitivity.

Fix vectors when and how you want

Experience new freedom with vector layers - layers that allow you to edit lines after you’ve drawn them without affecting the line quality. You can move lines, make them thicker, thinner, erase only one line, or erase to intersections.

Endless selection of brushes

With over 40,000 brushes, from traditional-style to patterns and more, you’re bound to find the perfect brush for your work. You can also customize the brushes to meet your specific needs.

Instant ornaments and decoration

Add accessories, patterns, frames and backgrounds to embellish your design with a single stroke. Multiple images can be applied to a single brush and randomized for a natural result.

Special rulers for shapes and perspective

Precision is simple with our advanced symmetry and perspective rulers, perfect for intricate patterns or complex backgrounds. Choose from a range of specialized, intuitive ruler tools for geometry and other patterns.

Use filters to polish your work

Use a filter to blur, sharpen, add noise, mosaics, and more to add effects to your piece. Preview and compare multiple filters to create that perfect finishing touch to your work.

Pose your drawing with Puppet warp

Pin down where you want your character to be stationary and where you want them to move. Transform your drawing as if you were moving a puppet to achieve your desired pose.

Customizable 3D figures with new AI posing

Place 3D drawing figures and head models directly onto the canvas.
You can also attach props to your 3D model like hats and shoes, to instantly create a reference close to your character design.
Customizable body shapes and camera angles make it even more ideal to reference. Bring poses to life with the help of the pose scanner that reads poses from photos and the hand scanner that mimics the pose of your hand with a camera.

Use with Photoshop and Illustrator for a seamless workflow

Import, edit, and save your work in Photoshop formats (PSD, PSB) with the layers intact. SVG formats are also available to import and export or simply copy and paste the vector layer.
You can also import your Photoshop brushes (ABR) and gradient files (GRD).

Your story at a glance

View all your pages at once with the page management feature in Clip Studio Paint EX. When you’re done, check the 3D print preview or publish instantly with Clip Studio SHARE, our online reader for multi-page works.

CMYK for printing

Import and export RGB data for web content and CMYK data for printing. You can also work in a CMYK preview to see your colors just as they’ll look when printed.

Work more comfortably with a pen tablet

Use the Clip Studio Tabmate to operate the app with a push of a button, so you never have to put your pen down when drawing. Now with iPad and iOS support! (Tabmate sold separately)
Compatible with iPad, iPhone, Android, Windows, and macOS.
