Krita

Krita is a professional digital painting program that caters to a wide range of artists, from illustrators to animators, and those creating comics, concept art, or storyboards. It stands out as a powerful tool in the digital art space.

The software is packed with both common and innovative features that enhance the joy and productivity of painting. Krita offers exceptional brush engines tailored for sketching and painting, stabilizers for smooth freehand inking, and assistants that help in constructing complex scenes. For an uninterrupted painting experience, Krita provides a distraction-free canvas-only mode. Other notable features include clone layers, layer styles, and a variety of filter and transform masks that support non-destructive editing. Krita is compatible with all major file formats, including PSD.

For artists interested in animation, Krita supports features such as onion skinning and storyboarding. It also includes comic book project management, Python scripting, a wide array of powerful filters, selection tools, colorizing tools, and color-managed workflows. With its flexible workspaces, Krita offers much more to explore. Discover the full feature set on the official website at krita.org!

Krita is developed by the Krita Foundation and Halla Rempt Software, and it is a part of the KDE community.
