Clip Studio Paint Reviews & Product Details

It's a good alternative to other drawing tools and has an active plugin community although small. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can feel counterintuitive at times if you just want a quick photo edit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really love how many tools and options that their suite has, and how much I can customize the layout of the program to suit my ever-changing needs. The option for cloud back-ups offers such a feeling of reassurance, knowing my work will still be there if something happens to my machine or my drives. I also love how community oriented it is, with the ability to buy or even obtain free materials, brushes and more from other creative or generous users. After some time to get familiar with the program, it is very easy and natural to use! Installing Clip Studio Paint was super simple as well, implementing it was no problem. This is my daily-use art program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't enjoy that a lot of the juicy features are stuck behind the more expensive license, and I really dislike the change from perpetual licenses to yearly subscriptions. I also heard about some AI involvement in the newer updates, and I really don’t love that. They should know better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate the ecosystem of downloadable tools—especially brushes and textures—directly accessible through the platform or linked sources. Customizing the workspace, from window layout to shortcuts is seamless. And the auto-save feature of Clip studio paint has saved my progress more than once. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Visually appealing, but many valuable tools are hidden and navigation isn’t intuitive for newcomers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing that is beyond the basics. Higly overated product Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Would never use this app again, you can't properly handle this basic operation correctly, really!? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love CSP for its customizable artboard. You can really personalize it to be something only you know. It also holds similarities to Photoshop and Illustrator which I already have experience in so it works out for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing, they have a great community and best thing of all is you only have to pay for it one time. You can get their premium version which is monthly but you don't have to, you have the option of a one-time price, which is awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For me, Clip Studio Paint has unique pencil tools. I primarily use CSP for sketching and making clean lines. The Timelapse record option is an impressive feature that greatly aids me in recording my progress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. Lifetime license: It is not actually a lifetime license. You will be limited to version 2.0. To receive further updates, you need to subscribe monthly or annually.

2. Prior to the release of version 2, the previous versions worked smoothly on my laptop. However, since the release of the new version 2, I have been experiencing lag issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love all the features Clip Studio Paint offers, some of the features I love are the 3d models and all the assets that are free to use, also I love to accumulate clippy coins to get more Clip Studio Assets. I also love the Clip Studio Tips and The Contests offered by the company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike is that the software is a bit heavy to run, it would be very useful to create a lite version of it, with as many features as the original version provides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is for my Samsung Galaxy Tablet S7. It is my art and design studio on the go. It was an affordable program, the Samsung version of Procreate for Apple, and the reason I got my tablet. I can create wall-sized art in high resolution if I want. But what I like most is I have the access to the S Pen by Samsung and can create anything I want on my tablet. It is like Photoshop, GIMP, Inkspace, Krita, and more all rolled into one! I can create art anywhere in the world with just a tablet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I had watched many videos about Procreate and how to design anything I wanted and in the videos, the program is so seemingly simple and the features are phenomenal. In this program, Clip Studio Paint, it has a lot more capabilities but that is what makes it so difficult. I have used it for almost a year and I am still learning. In one way it is like all the applications of all the art programs I have all together but clutters up the screen. I know the program well but there is so much to choose from and that makes the text and menu smaller to read. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The flow, the brushes, the canvas, the export options. Clip Studio even lets you animate having everything on a single screen. You can create a whole comic and export to platforms directly or design for a print. Clip Studio also has a whole set of brushes and they have a market where you can buy brushes created by artists who really use them. They have regular webinars where you can interact with artists and you can be amazed on how different each one of them uses this software to create amazing things. You can draw in vector and correct the whole drawing without having to re-draw. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You can't export drawings in SVG. You can draw in vector but can't do anything further with it. If you want to create an SVG, this isn't for you. Updated: Clipstudio recently decided not to fulfill the lifetime license. So now they decided to hold the Clipstudio version 2 and if you want to use it, you have to go into a subscription business model as Adobe. If you upgrade to version 2 and for some reason you don't keep paying, you must uninstall everything and downgrade to version 1. This is a dishonest way of doing business. I paid 300$ for that lifetime license. This is not good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Has many features similar to photoshop and paint tool sai with an added bonus of a community page brushes and 3d models Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Only some people use Clip Studio Paint, and not collaborative-friendly. You'd have to convert your file to another program for another person to look at or edit the file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
