There's not so much of a difference. In most cases, they are interchangeable.
1. 虽然...，但是... In this structure, 但是 is more often used than 可是
2. 但是 and 可是 are both transitional words, but 但是 carries a stronger tone. When the speaker is more sure or more confident, 但是 is used. When the speaker is not quite sure, but still wants to express transition, 可是 is used.

可是 (kěshì) is used to emphasize a contrast between two ideas or to introduce a new idea. For example, you can use it to express a contrast between two ideas:
"我很喜欢吃苹果，可是我不喜欢吃橘子。" (Wǒ hěn xǐhuan chī píngguǒ, kěshì wǒ bù xǐhuan chī júzi.) - I like to eat apples, but I don't like to eat oranges.
You can also use it to introduce a new idea:
"我们可以去公园，可是我们也可以去电影院。" (Wǒmen kěyǐ qù gōngyuán, kěshì wǒmen yě kěyǐ qù diànyǐngyuàn.) - We can go to the park, but we can also go to the cinema.
