Krita

Krita is an advanced digital painting program tailored for professional artists. Whether you're crafting illustrations, comics, animations, concept art, or storyboards, Krita serves as a robust tool to elevate your creative process.

Krita is packed with both traditional and cutting-edge features that enhance the joy and efficiency of painting. It includes exceptional brush engines perfect for sketching and painting, stabilizers to smooth out freehand inking, assistants for building intricate scenes, and a distraction-free canvas-only mode for uninterrupted focus. Other features include clone layers, layer styles, and filter and transform masks that allow for non-destructive editing. Krita is compatible with widely-used file formats, such as PSD, ensuring seamless integration with other software.

For those interested in animation, Krita offers onion skinning, storyboarding capabilities, and comprehensive comic book project management. Additionally, it supports Python scripting, an array of powerful filters, selection tools, colorizing tools, and color-managed workflows. The application also features customizable workspaces to suit individual preferences. Explore the complete range of Krita’s capabilities at krita.org!
