System specs, installation, and your serial number

Before installing Clip Studio Paint, we need to ensure that our computer hardware is capable of running the program. Graphics software can be taxing on system resources, so it is important to ensure that your computer is up to the task!

Clip Studio Paint is made for both Windows PCs as well as Mac operating systems; you pay by one-time purchase for a perpetual license. As well as Macs and PCs, it is also available on iPad, iPhone, Galaxy, Android, and Chromebook in monthly and annual usage plans. You can use the free trial version for all hardware mentioned. Once we have ensured that we can run the program on our computer, we can then download and install the software and run it for the first time.

System requirements

To run Clip Studio Paint effectively, our computer must meet certain system requirements. These requirements are slightly different for PCs than for Macs, so please check the system requirements carefully...
