Convert Krita brushes to Clip Studio Paint

Want to use Krita brushes in Clip Studio Paint? Clip Studio Paint cannot open .kpp files, and no version of it reads them. Converting the .kpp to .sut creates a file Clip Studio Paint imports natively. Tip and grain images embed in the .sut itself, so there is nothing to set up before you draw.

How it works

  1. Upload your Krita brush. Drop the .kpp file into the converter. We support multi-brush files.
  2. Pick Clip Studio Paint as the target. You can select several targets at once and get one download per format.
  3. Download and install. On desktop, double-click the .sut or drag it into the Sub Tool palette. On iPad or phone, import it from the Sub Tool palette menu. See our install guide for more details.

What carries over

From Krita: The full preset. This includes the brush tip, texture with scale and strength, spacing, and pressure curves per parameter.

Writing to Clip Studio Paint: Grain textures larger than 1024x1024 are resampled to fit, and color mixing behavior is approximated for some brush types.

Common questions

Will the brush feel the same in Clip Studio Paint? Yes. Brushfactory maps your brush directly to native Clip Studio Paint settings. Strokes are never rasterized or estimated. If a setting has no exact equivalent, the result screen names anything that had to be adjusted.
Is it free? A free account gets you monthly conversions at no cost. Pro removes the limits and adds batch conversion.
What happens to your files? Uploads are converted in memory and deleted immediately. Your brushes remain entirely private.
How do you use Krita brushes in Clip Studio Paint? Clip Studio Paint cannot open .kpp files, so the brush needs converting first. Upload the .kpp file, download the converted .sut file, and import it the way Clip Studio Paint imports its own brushes.
Can .kpp files be imported into Clip Studio Paint directly? No. Clip Studio Paint does not read .kpp files. Converting the .kpp to .sut creates a file Clip Studio Paint imports natively.
