Clip Studio Paint for iPhone

What Clip Studio Paint does on iPhone and iPod touch

Clip Studio Paint, developed by CELSYS, Inc., brings a full-featured drawing and painting suite to iOS devices. The mobile edition adapts the core capabilities of the desktop app so you can sketch, ink, and color with confidence on your compatible iPhone or iPod touch.

Access levels and cost

You can try Clip Studio Paint without paying, but the free mode limits use to one hour per day. To remove that restriction and unlock the complete set of professional features, purchase one of the app’s plans. A paid license grants unlimited access to tools and extras tailored for illustrations, comics, manga, and other visual projects.

Core painting and brush capabilities

• Advanced pressure response that makes each stroke feel lifelike
• A wide assortment of pens and brushes to suit different styles
• Multiple painting modes, including watercolor, oil, airbrush, and cel shading
• Color History to quickly reuse palettes you’ve previously chosen

Customization and workflow controls

• Personalize touch gestures to map frequently used functions to quick motions
• Create and run Auto Actions to automate repetitive steps and speed up production
• A compact quick-access toolbar that gathers your most-used commands for instant reach

File compatibility and app integration

Clip Studio Paint supports importing and exporting SVG files and provides smooth connections to Adobe Illustrator for continued work across apps.

Why you might choose it

The mobile version delivers a surprisingly complete toolset for on-the-go creation. With natural-feeling brushstrokes, deep tool customization, and workflow shortcuts, it enables professional-looking designs, comics, and illustrations directly from your phone.
