Are you looking to move your Clip Studio Paint to a new computer? This guide will show you how to transfer it without losing your settings and customizations. We’ll cover the CELSYS Folder Method and the Cloud Backup Method with easy steps and tips.
As technology gets better, we often switch devices. Clip Studio Paint makes this easy with a simple process. You can use it on various devices like Windows, macOS, iPad, iPhone, and Galaxy with their monthly plans.
To start, find the CELSYS folder, which holds all your data. Just close apps, move the folder to the new PC, and you’re done1.
Make sure you have the latest Clip Studio Paint on both devices when switching. This prevents any problems1.
But, remember, you can only change devices a few times with a plan. Pick your devices wisely to avoid hitting the limit1.
For using Clip Studio Paint on many devices, get the right plan. Options like single-device, dual-device, and premium plans let you switch easily1.
The CELSYS Folder Method is a simple way to move Clip Studio Paint settings and materials between computers. Just copy the CELSYS folder from your old computer to start. This keeps your custom settings safe and ready for your new system. It makes moving to a new computer easy, letting you keep your preferred settings and materials.
Here’s how to start the transfer:
On your old computer, go to the Program Files directory and find the CELSYS folder2. This folder holds your Clip Studio Paint settings and data.
Copy the CELSYS folder by right-clicking and choosing “Copy” from the menu.
Move the copied CELSYS folder to your new computer using a USB drive or another data transfer method.
Paste the CELSYS folder into the Program Files directory on your new computer2. This puts your settings and materials in the right place for Clip Studio Paint.
After moving the CELSYS folder, open Clip Studio Paint on your new computer. Check that all your settings and materials are there. You should see your customized workspace and brushes, just like on your old computer.
The CELSYS folder only has user data and settings, not the Clip Studio Paint installation or purchased materials. For accessing materials from the Celsys “cloud” or maintenance options, see the relevant sections in this article3.
The CELSYS Folder Method makes moving your Clip Studio Paint settings and materials easy. Just follow these steps for a smooth transition. This way, you won’t lose any customizations and can start creating right away!
The Cloud Backup Method
The Cloud Backup Method is a great way to move your Clip Studio Paint settings and materials to a new computer. It makes sure you don’t lose any data and keeps your work flowing smoothly. Here’s how you can use this method to easily transfer your stuff:
Create a Backup
First, open Clip Studio Paint on your current computer and go to the settings. Find the “Cloud Backup” option and click on it. This starts the backup of your settings and materials to the Clip Studio cloud. The time it takes depends on your files’ size and internet speed. Once it’s done, you can move on to the next step.
Install Clip Studio Paint on Your New Computer
Then, install Clip Studio Paint on your new computer. Go to the official Clip Studio Paint website and download the software that fits your system. Run the installer and follow the instructions to install it. After it’s installed, open Clip Studio Paint on your new computer.

Use the many features and tools Clip Studio Paint offers, like over 55,000 brush materials on Clip Studio Assets4. Customize your work with shortcut keys and the Auto Action function4. The software can also import 3D data4, giving you more options for drawing and placing objects.
The Cloud Backup Method lets you easily move your Clip Studio Paint settings and materials to a new computer. This way, you can keep creating without worrying about losing data or setting things up again. Don’t let data loss or setup worries stop you—move smoothly and get back to your creative work.
Backing Up the CELSYS Folder
Before moving your Clip Studio Paint to another computer, make sure to back up your CELSYS folder. This folder holds all your materials and settings. Backing it up keeps your important data safe and easy to find when you move.
To back up the CELSYS folder, just follow these easy steps:

Choosing the Material’s Storage Location
When moving your CELSYS folder, think about where you’ll store your materials. If you’ve moved your materials in Clip Studio Paint, you’ll need to move the CLIPStudioCommon folder too. This guide will help you make sure all your materials move over safely and you can find them easily on your new computer.
When picking a spot for your materials, remember the changes in version 1.10.13, especially for OneDrive users8. On your old computer, your materials were in “C:\Users\(user name)\Documents\CELSYS\CLIPStudioCommon”. But on your new computer, they’ll be in “C:\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\CELSYSUserData\CELSYS\CLIPStudioCommon”8.
When moving your files, don’t overwrite the settings folder to keep your changes accurate8. If your settings folder is full, copying it might not work. In this case, using a USB memory device to move the settings folder is a good idea8.
To move your materials without trouble, do this: let Clip Studio Paint (CSP) make a new folder, delete it, and then put your old folder in8. This might seem complicated, but it’s important to do it right. The migration often doesn’t work if you don’t follow the steps carefully8.
Applying the Transferred User Settings
Now that you’ve moved the CELSYS folder and CLIPStudioCommon folder to your new PC, it’s time to set up your user settings. Follow the steps here to start Clip Studio Paint and update your settings. We’ll also help you organize your material databases and complete the transfer smoothly.
First, open Clip Studio Paint on your new computer. If you haven’t installed it, see Section 5 for how to do it.
After opening the app, go to the “Settings” tab in the top menu. Then, pick “Preferences” from the dropdown menu to see the settings.
Remember to save any ongoing projects before changing settings to avoid losing data. 9
In the Preferences window, you’ll see tabs for different software parts. To apply your settings, go to the “General” tab.
In the General tab, find the “Settings” section. Here, adjust options like language, icon size, and workspace layout to your liking.
If you moved material databases from your old computer, visit the “Material” tab in Preferences. Here, tell Clip Studio Paint where your databases are on your new PC. Use the folder icon to find the directory where you saved them. This lets the software use and show your materials without trouble.
After adjusting everything, click “OK” to save your changes and close the Preferences window.
You’ve successfully set up Clip Studio Paint on your new PC with your old settings. Now, you can dive into your projects with your preferred settings and layouts.
If you run into problems or need more help, see Section 10 for extra advice and troubleshooting tips.

Clip Studio Paint opens up a world of possibilities for animation. Its animation timeline supports various operations, such as dragging and dropping frames, selecting frames, copying, and pasting. You can even name timelines automatically based on scene and cut names11. Despite its strengths, Clip Studio Paint does have some limitations in the animation department. It lacks sound support, meaning you cannot import sound directly into the timeline. Additionally, there is no automatic frame coloring. However, it excels in traditional 2D frame-by-frame animation, complemented by Clip Studio ACTION for features like camera control, sound, and tweening11.

While transferring Clip Studio Paint is usually easy, some extra tips and troubleshooting might help. We’ve got some advice to make your transfer smooth. Follow these tips to avoid any issues and make sure your transfer goes well.

Resolving Failed Transfer Attempts

Ensuring Comprehensive Transfer with the Cloud Backup Method
The CELSYS Folder Method is good for transferring Clip Studio Paint, but it might miss some things like custom tool sets13. Use the Cloud Backup Method too for a full transfer. This method keeps your app settings and more safe.
Optimizing Cloud Backup Method Duration
If you have a lot to transfer with the Cloud Backup Method, be aware it might take a while13. Plan your time so you can finish the backup without interruptions. Start the backup when you can focus and won’t be interrupted.
Setting up Automatic Backups for Data Protection
It’s important to protect your data from sudden system failures. Automatic backups for Clip Studio Paint using the Cloud are a good idea13. They keep your work safe and give you peace of mind.
