New in 1.3.0

Access: your shortcuts, always within reach NEW

A new drawer that lives in your dock. Add folders, images, files and URLs, and open them without leaving your workflow.

  • Add folders, images, files and URLs — everything you need for the project you are working on.
  • Organize your shortcuts in tabs and keep each collection one click away.
  • Open anything straight from the dock while you work in Clip Studio Paint.

New feature

Color Palette & Infinite Eyedropper NEW

Organize your reference colors and catch them with an eyedropper that never stops.

  • Reference folders: sort your colors by project so the palette you need is always at hand.
  • Take the Collector to any monitor — a floating window you can park right next to your references.
  • Infinite eyedropper: it stays on after every capture. Keep picking colors without reopening it once.

The palette: ramp, harmonies, notes and every color you hunt

Tip: bind the Collector to your drawing app’s “Get color from screen” shortcut — PinClip stores every color.

New feature

Notes & PostClip floating stickies NEW

Write it down before it escapes your head, then pin it right on top of your canvas.

  • A new Notes block where you type with the keyboard or write by hand with your stylus.
  • Drop your notes anywhere with the new PostClips: tiny floating windows that stay on top of everything, just like a PostIt on your screen.
  • Six paper colors, bold / italic / underline, checklists and a live counter of characters and strokes.
  • Favorite with the star, pin it to the front, delete it or edit it — and everything is saved automatically.

Fixed forever

On top of everything, for good. NEW

PinClip now stays above your windows. Always. No more hiding behind your work.

  • The dock is now always visible on top of every window you have open.
  • A new guardian keeps the dock up there and pulls it back the moment Windows buries it at the bottom of the screen.
  • That used to be one of our worst bugs. Say goodbye to it. 👋

What makes PinClip special?

NEW 🗂️

Access Drawer

Keep folders, images, files and URLs one click away. Your whole project, organized in a drawer that lives in the dock.

NEW 🎨

Color Palette

Hunt colors anywhere on your screen with an eyedropper that never turns off. Lightness ramps, harmonies, notes, mixing and export built in.

NEW 📝

Notes & PostClips

Type or handwrite your notes, then drop them anywhere on screen as tiny sticky windows that always stay on top.

🎵

Media Controls

Play, pause, skip tracks and adjust volume without minimizing Clip Studio. Your music, always at hand.

⌨️

Smart Shortcuts

Record simple keys or complex combinations. Automate your most used tools with one click.

Always on Top

A guardian keeps your dock above every window. Windows used to bury it at the bottom of the screen — never again.

Live clock, clock with date, countdown timer and daily alarm. All inside the Utilities category, always at pen’s reach.

🧑‍🎨

Custom Companions

Import your own GIF, PNG or WebM character and choose its BASE pose. The rest of the animations play at random.

Floating & Limitless

Drag it to any corner of your screen. Always visible, never getting in the way of your creativity.
