Krita at a glance

Krita is an open-source application for digital painting, illustration and concept art that runs on Windows, macOS and Linux. Developed by the KDE community and the Krita Foundation, it targets artists, offers extensive brush engines, layers and colour management and can be used without licence costs.

New stable editions are published through the official KDE download sources with clearly numbered versions; they bring new tools, performance improvements and bug fixes. Bug-fix editions usually follow larger versions at short intervals.

In managed environments, administrators should keep an eye on new versions and check before rollout whether system requirements or file formats have changed. Because Krita is used on many workstations, it is worth applying at least bug-fix and stability editions promptly. The release notes list the respective new features and resolved issues.
