Animation features include a light table and onion-skin tools; PRO supports simple animation up to 24 frames, while EX includes full-length animation tools. Monthly and annual plans include 10GB of cloud data, with an option to add storage. Clip Studio Assets offers downloadable brushes and other materials, and GOLD can be used to buy materials there. Projects can be saved in compatible and industry-standard file formats. The app is listed for Android, iOS, macOS, web, and Windows; the download page also lists Chromebook. PRO is described for concept artists, illustrators, and designers; EX for comic and manga artists and animators. PRO monthly plans start at US$0.99/month and EX at US$2.49/month.
