What it is
An open-source painting program developed by the KDE community. It is built for drawing rather than photo retouching, so brush response and pen pressure handling are strong, and it includes tools for comics and frame-by-frame animation. Free for personal and business use.
When to pick this
If you draw with a tablet. For retouching or compositing photographs, GIMP fits better.
Details
Brushes
Hundreds of brushes ship with it and you can build your own. Line weight responds to tablet pressure.
Comics and animation
Panel frames and frame-by-frame animation are built in, so short animated sequences need no other program.
Not for photo work
It is a drawing tool; GIMP is better for colour correction and photo compositing.
After a reformat
Back up the resources folder
Brushes, palettes and workspace layout live in %APPDATA%\krita. If you made or downloaded brushes, copy that folder before formatting or export a bundle from Settings → Manage Resources.
Tablet driver
A pen tablet needs the manufacturer’s driver installed first for pressure sensitivity. That is the driver’s job, not Krita’s.
