What it is

Clip Studio Assets is a catalog for finding, downloading, and publishing materials for Clip Studio Paint. Its collection includes brushes, image materials, poses, 3D objects, gradients, color sets, workspaces, and Auto Actions. Free materials are available; individual paid materials may be priced in Clippy or GOLD, which are required to download them. A Clip Studio account is required to download materials or to publish and edit them. Users can access the service through Clip Studio Start or a browser on a tablet, PC, or smartphone, with Android, iOS, macOS, web, and Windows listed as platforms. Clip Studio Paint version 4.2 and later can automatically install downloaded tools, color sets, gradient sets, workspaces, and Auto Actions; other software requires extracting downloaded ZIP files. Anyone can upload Clippy materials, while GOLD materials are restricted to qualified creators and earn royalties based on price and download count. Uploads must belong to the submitter, and materials made with AI image-generation technology are prohibited. CELSYS says it may remove materials or suspend accounts without prior warning.

Clip Studio Assets in depth

Read the full write-up

Overview

Clip Studio Assets is a catalog for finding and sharing reusable materials for Clip Studio Paint, from brushes and patterns to 3D objects and workflow tools. It is most useful to artists already working in Clip Studio Paint who want to extend it with community-made resources. Its breadth and free materials are appealing; paid downloads use points, and downloads require an account.

You can access the catalog through Clip Studio Start or a browser on a tablet, PC, or smartphone. The browser makes browsing flexible, but a Clip Studio account is required to download, publish, or edit materials. Creators must use another route to publish material catalogs, since that cannot be done in a browser.

Key features

More than brushes

The catalog includes brushes, image materials, poses, 3D objects, gradients, color sets, workspaces, and Auto Actions. That range can serve both the visual needs of a piece and parts of an artist’s workflow, making Assets more useful than a brush-only library for Clip Studio Paint users. It is a poor fit for artists who need a general-purpose collection for other software.

Installation depends on the app version

Clip Studio Paint version 4.2 and later can automatically install downloaded tools, color sets, gradient sets, workspaces, and Auto Actions. For other software, downloaded ZIP files need to be extracted, so the streamlined installation benefits users of newer Clip Studio Paint versions most. Brush files use the.sut format.

Creator marketplace with meaningful restrictions

Anyone can upload Clippy materials; GOLD materials are restricted to qualified material creators and earn royalties based on price and download count. The stated upload limits are up to 20,000 Clippy for Clippy uploads and up to 20,000 GOLD for GOLD uploads. Creators must own the intellectual rights to what they submit, and AI-generated image materials are prohibited. Certain file types, including.pes and.exe, are also barred, and material catalogs cannot be published through a browser.

Celsys may remove materials or suspend accounts without prior warning to protect the community. If a paid material is removed for violating the terms of service, purchasers receive their points back. Users can turn to materials FAQs, Clip Studio Ask, or Clip Studio Support for questions, requests, and bug reports.

Pricing

PlanPriceWhat it includesFree materialsfreeFree materials; downloading requires a Clip Studio account and installed Clip Studio.Paid materialsCustom pricingIndividual materials priced in Clippy or GOLD; those points are required to download them.The free catalog is the sensible starting point for artists who want to add materials without paying for individual downloads, though account and installed Clip Studio requirements still apply. Paid materials suit users willing to spend points on specific additions; there is no single catalog-wide price, so the cost depends on the material. Creators can publish Clippy materials without being qualified for the GOLD program, while earning royalties from GOLD materials requires qualification.

Platforms

Clip Studio Assets is available on Android, iOS, macOS, web, and Windows. The materials are for Clip Studio Paint, and the supported app is Clip Studio Paint. Access through a browser is useful for browsing across devices, but it does not remove the Clip Studio account requirement for downloads or the browser restriction on publishing material catalogs.

Who it's for

Clip Studio Paint users who want a broad assortment of community-made brushes, image materials, poses, 3D objects, and workflow resources are the clearest fit. It also gives qualified creators a route to earn royalties on GOLD materials, while anyone can upload Clippy materials within the platform’s rules. Artists working primarily in other software should favor resources made for that software instead.

Pros and cons

Pros

Broad material range: Brushes, 3D objects, colors, workspaces, and Auto Actions sit alongside image materials and poses, so users can look beyond drawing tools.

Free entry point: Free materials cost nothing, giving Clip Studio Paint users a way to add resources without buying each one.

Automatic installation for newer versions: Clip Studio Paint 4.2 and later can install several material types automatically.

Creator options: Anyone can upload Clippy materials, while qualified creators can earn royalties from GOLD materials.

Cons

App-specific materials: The catalog serves Clip Studio Paint rather than users seeking a cross-software asset library.

Account and software required for downloads: Free materials still require a Clip Studio account and installed Clip Studio.

Paid downloads use points: Individual materials require Clippy or GOLD, so users need to assess the cost of each material rather than rely on one catalog price.

Creator limitations: Browser publishing is unavailable, some file types are prohibited, and submissions must meet intellectual-property and AI-content rules.

Alternatives

Browse Digital Brush Libraries for a wider comparison of brush-focused options. Choose LaneDraws instead if a paid brush pack for Photoshop CC, including pressure- and tilt-sensitive inking brushes, better matches your app and purchase preference; it also offers a free high-resolution chart.

Brusher is a better fit for iOS, macOS, or Windows users who want free starter packs without an account or a weekly subscription for premium collections. For Procreate-specific packs, Frankentoon Studio offers a free starter pack and a one-time-purchase Sketch Kit.

Krita is the alternative to consider if you want free, open-source painting software rather than an add-on catalog. DAUB Brushes may suit iOS users seeking Clip Studio Paint tools, including a free 12-tool pencil set and paid markers.

GrutBrushes is an alternative for readers looking for Procreate brush sets. KsTumanova Brushes is another option for Clip Studio Paint users, with a paid spider-web brush set that includes a commercial license. TsaoShin Full Brush Set suits readers seeking a free collection of more than 100 brushes for Photoshop CC, Procreate, or Clip Studio Paint.

Verdict

Clip Studio Assets is a strong choice for Clip Studio Paint artists who want one destination for free and paid materials spanning brushes, 3D resources, and workflow tools. Its main advantage is that breadth; its main drawback is that downloads depend on an account and installed Clip Studio, while paid materials require points. Choose it if Clip Studio Paint is central to your work, and look elsewhere if you need assets for other software or prefer straightforward, per-pack pricing.

Verdict

Clip Studio Assets offers a broad catalog for Clip Studio Paint, with free materials and individual paid downloads. Check account, upload, and installation requirements before relying on a particular material or workflow.
