Convert GIMP brushes to Clip Studio Paint
.gbr → .sut in your browser. Textures, grain and pressure curves carry over — and the result screen lists exactly what was preserved and what was adjusted.
How it works
- Upload your GIMP brush. Drop the .gbr / .gih / .vbr file into the converter. Multi-brush files are supported.
- Pick Clip Studio Paint as the target. You can select several targets at once and get one download per format.
- Download and install. On desktop, double-click the .sut or drag it into the Sub Tool palette. On iPad/phone, import it from the Sub Tool palette menu. If you chose to include the tip and grain images, they arrive as PNGs beside the .sut — see the install guide.
What carries over
From GIMP: Tip imagery with its size and spacing from .gbr and .gih (the first frame of an animated brush), and the full parametric recipe of a .vbr — radius, hardness, aspect ratio and angle.
Writing to Clip Studio Paint: Tip and grain images are available as an optional extra download, in case you ever want to register them by hand (guide linked below). Grain textures larger than 1024×1024 are resampled to fit, and color-mixing behavior is approximated for some brush types.
