Can I still open my .clip files after canceling?

The .clip format is proprietary to Clip Studio Paint. Without an active subscription or a perpetual license, you cannot open these files. Export to PSD or PNG before canceling.

Is there a one-time purchase option for Clip Studio Paint?

Clip Studio Paint previously offered a perpetual license. Check the current pricing page to see if a one-time purchase option is still available for your platform.

What happens to my Clip Studio Assets after canceling?

Retention Tips

Clip Studio Paint uses a proprietary file format. If you have ongoing projects, make sure to export everything to PSD or PNG before your subscription ends. Also check whether a one-time perpetual license is available, which could be more cost-effective for long-term use.
