Krita is a professional-grade digital painting software tailored for artists who engage in a variety of creative projects, including illustrations, comics, animations, concept art, and storyboards. It's designed to be a robust and versatile tool that can significantly enhance your artistic workflow.

Krita boasts a wide array of both standard and cutting-edge features that elevate the joy and efficiency of digital painting. Artists can benefit from advanced brush engines tailored for sketching and painting, stabilizers to smooth freehand inking, and assistants to help construct intricate scenes. The program also offers a distraction-free canvas-only mode for uninterrupted painting, clone layers, layer styles, and filter and transform masks that allow for non-destructive editing. Krita is compatible with all major file formats, including PSD.

For those interested in animation, Krita provides features like onion skinning and storyboarding. It also supports comic book project management, Python scripting, a variety of powerful filters, selection and colorizing tools, color-managed workflows, and customizable workspaces.

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