Convert Clip Studio Paint documents (CLIP) online for free
The converter easily converts your CLIP documents to various formats - free and online. No Clip Studio Paint or or other Raster Image software needed.
To convert other file formats to the "Digital Illustration Document" file type, you need software like Clip Studio Paint or a similar tool.
The .CLIP file is primarily a proprietary digital art document used by Clip Studio Paint (formerly Manga Studio). These files store multi-layered illustrations, comics, and 2D animations, including specialized vector lines, screentones, and 3D reference models. Secondary uses for the .CLIP extension include raw video feeds from Yuan video capture cards and engine replay data from the Rockstar Editor in Grand Theft Auto V.
The main disadvantage of the .CLIP format is its closed, proprietary nature. You cannot open a .CLIP file in standard image viewers, web browsers, or industry-standard tools like Adobe Photoshop without a paid license or active subscription to Celsys software. Furthermore, these files often exceed hundreds of megabytes due to uncompressed layer data and embedded 3D assets, making them difficult to preview or share via email.
To overcome these limitations, you must convert the file. For editing in other raster software, convert to PSD (note: specialized vector layers and proprietary text formatting will be rasterized). For web sharing or portfolio display, convert to WEBP or PNG. For printing and archiving, convert to a flattened, high-resolution TIFF or PDF. If you have a Yuan video file, convert it to MP4. Drop your file here to view and convert it securely right in your browser.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our CLIP converter.
