Convert Clip Studio Paint brushes to Krita

Want to use Clip Studio Paint brushes in Krita? Krita cannot open .sut files, and no version of it reads them. Converting the .sut to .kpp creates a file Krita imports natively. The tip image embeds in the preset and texture scale maps onto Krita's 0 to 200% range.

How it works

  1. Upload your Clip Studio Paint brush. Drop the .sut file into the converter. We support multi-brush files.
  2. Pick Krita as the target. You can select several targets at once and get one download per format.
  3. Download and install. Import through Settings › Manage Resources…, or drop the .kpp into your Krita resource folder and restart Krita. The brush tip embeds in the preset.

What carries over

From Clip Studio Paint: Brush engine settings, pressure and tilt response curves with their minimums, texture settings, and linked materials.

Writing to Krita: The brush tip embeds in the preset, and texture settings map onto Krita's 0 to 200 percent texture scale. Brushes that mix color map to Krita's Color Smudge engine behavior where possible.

Common questions

Will the brush feel the same in Krita? Yes. Brushfactory maps your brush directly to native Krita 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 Clip Studio Paint brushes in Krita? Krita cannot open .sut files, so the brush needs converting first. Upload the .sut file, download the converted .kpp file, and import it the way Krita imports its own brushes.
Can .sut files be imported into Krita directly? No. Krita does not read .sut files. Converting the .sut to .kpp creates a file Krita imports natively.
