Where Does PaintTool SAI 2 Store Settings?
SAI2 settings, brushes, textures and license files in the app folder.
Last updated
SAI 2 keeps brushes, textures, shortcuts and license files inside its own install folder rather than user profiles. Portable by design, it migrates by copying one directory.
Back up the whole folder before brush-pack sprees and Windows reinstalls. Custom scatter textures never redownload themselves.
Where PaintTool SAI stores this, by platform
C:\SAI2\settings
Typical self-contained layout with brush, tool and paper-texture files beside the exe. Store and license files sit in the same tree. Copy the entire app folder with SAI closed; installs to Program Files work the same way.
Frequently asked questions
How do I migrate SAI2 brushes?
Copy the app folder above whole. Brushes, textures and shortcuts travel together with no registry step.
Why did SAI2 forget my license?
The license file in the folder above did not migrate. Copy it separately and keep it out of shared brush packs.
