About Clip Studio Paint
Clip Studio Paint is a digital art app for drawing and painting with brushes that feel like traditional materials, vector layers for clean line art, and reference tools including 3D figures and a hand scanner. It includes full comic and webtoon tooling—panel frames, speech balloons, screentones, and multi-page projects—and animation features from simple GIFs to full-length animation. The PRO edition covers professional illustration, while EX adds full animation and comic features, on Windows, macOS, iPad, iPhone, and Android.
