01The problem

Why .clip files show no thumbnail in Windows

Clip Studio Paint does not add thumbnails to File Explorer, so its files can only be told apart by name.

Every .clip file carries a preview of its canvas. Design Previewer shows it as the thumbnail and in the preview pane.

See every page

Pick the right illustration or comic page without opening it.

Big files, quick

Only the preview is read, not the layers, so heavy files stay quick.

No Clip Studio required

Browse artwork on PCs where the app is not installed.

Read only, always

Files are never changed and never leave your computer.
