Extract text from Clip Studio Paint brushes (SUT)
To convert SUT brushes to another format, you need Clip Studio Paint or other Settings software.
To convert other file formats to the "Brush Preset File" file type, you need software like Clip Studio Paint or a similar tool.
A .SUT file is a Sub Tool file used by digital artists to store custom brush configurations, pen settings, and textures. These files are opened and managed using Clip Studio Paint, a popular illustration software developed by Celsys.
The main disadvantage of the .SUT format is strict proprietary lock-in. Artists frequently purchase or download these files hoping to use them in Adobe Photoshop or Procreate, only to discover they are completely incompatible. Internally, a .SUT file is actually an SQLite database containing binary blobs for brush tip images and proprietary parameters for stroke dynamics.
Users typically want to convert .SUT files to ABR (Photoshop Brush) or BRUSH formats. Direct 1:1 conversion of brush behavior is technically impossible because each software uses a fundamentally different rendering engine to calculate pressure, scatter, and tilt. The most realistic conversion target is extracting the raw brush tip shapes and textures into PNG or JPEG image files.
This is a closed, proprietary format. Standard online converters fail to process it because interpreting the internal SQL schema requires the original Celsys software. Our analysis can inspect the internal database structure to detect and extract the embedded image files, giving you the raw materials needed to rebuild the brush in your software of choice.
Convert.Guru analyzes your SUT file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted BRUSHSET, SUTG, BRUSH, ABR, ZIP, CSP, RAR, PNG, XAPK, PDF, WAV, MDB and DMP files.
If you want to convert SUT file to PNG, ABR, BRUSH or PROCREATE, you can use Clip Studio Paint or similar software from the "Digital Brush Settings Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert files to SUT, try Clip Studio Paint or another comparable tool in the "Digital Brush Settings Storage" category.
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 SUT converter.
