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.
