MyPaintLinux vs Clip Studio PaintWindows

MyPaint als Linux-Alternative zu Clip Studio Paint

Aktualisiert am 19. Oktober 2026

Unser Fazit

MyPaint is not a full replacement for Clip Studio Paint. It excels at free‑form raster painting with a powerful brush engine and tablet support, but it lacks the comic‑specific tools, vector layers, page layout, and animation timeline that Clip Studio Paint provides. Artists who need a lightweight, distraction‑free painting environment and are comfortable working with raster layers only can use MyPaint, but comic creators, illustrators who rely on vector layers or page‑layout features will find it insufficient.

Was anders ist

MyPaint has no vector layer support, whereas Clip Studio Paint does
MyPaint lacks comic page layout tools (frames, speech balloons)
MyPaint does not provide a 2‑D animation timeline
Clip Studio Paint can import/export PSD files; MyPaint can export PNG, JPEG, OpenRaster but not PSD
Clip Studio Paint has built‑in brush packs and a marketplace; MyPaint ships with a smaller set of pre‑made brushes and relies on Python plugins for extensions

Ihre Clip Studio Paint-Dateien öffnen

Clip Studio Paint uses the .clip file format, which is proprietary. MyPaint cannot open .clip files directly. Exporting from Clip Studio Paint to a common format such as PSD, PNG, or JPEG is possible, but the loss of layer and vector data may occur. Importing those exported files into MyPaint will give you only the raster layers, without the original Clip Studio Paint structure.

Von Clip Studio Paint zu MyPaint wechseln – Schritt für Schritt

Export your Clip Studio Paint project to a common raster format (e.g., PNG or PSD).
Open the exported file in MyPaint to work on the raster layers.
If you need vector work, consider using a separate vector tool like Inkscape and then merge the raster output back into your final file.
Save your progress in MyPaint’s native OpenRaster format for future edits.
When finished, export the final image to PNG or JPEG for sharing or publishing.
