About this app

Krita is a full-featured digital painting application designed for artists. Whether you create illustrations, comics, animations, concept art or storyboards – Krita will be a powerful tool for you.

Krita offers many common and innovative features to make painting more fun and more productive. There are great brush engines for sketching and painting, stabilizers for freehand inking, assistants for constructing complex scenes, a distraction-free canvas-only mode for painting without bother, clone layers, layer styles, filter and transform masks for non-destructive editing. Krita supports all the most used file formats, including PSD.

Krita supports animation with onion skinning, storyboarding, comic book project management, scripting in Python, many powerful filters, selection tools, colorizing tools, color managed workflows, flexible workspaces… And much, much more. Discover the full feature set of Krita at https://krita.org!

This is a beta release of Krita and is not suitable for real work yet. Since the interface is currently optimized for big screen devices (tablets and chromebooks) we are not making it available for phones yet.

Krita is created by the Krita Foundation and Halla Rempt Software. The Krita project is part of the KDE community.

I like everything about krita, but it's ui, which was originally for pc. The exact thing on a phone screen makes it hard to navigate, even with setting customization. I really hope there could be a way to counter that, like adding a workspace or mode that hides some stuff and fixes the space issue. Pls make the app simple enough to be usable on a phone while still maintaining an option to use advanced things. Using layers is basically inconvenient bc you can't open and close with a quick tap.

As it is currently, I would only suggest using this program if you have a graphics tablet with a screen. With that said. This program is phenomenal with one. (I use a Huion Kamvas 13.) I've been looking for a way to do art without having to set up my computer. Since my wires aren't long enough to use it without moving it. And this is perfect for that. Fully customizable keybinds and everything. 100% would recommend.

Great drawing app. With a little adjustment, this app is usable on a 6" android phone. I use this app for the "steady stroke" feature missing from the mobile version of other drawing apps. Yes, there is some one time setup (10 mins max) required to get everything to fit on screen, but it is possible. My setup is: a workspace with just the canvas (all other sub windows closed) and a custom toolbar with the undo/redo, tool size, tool selection and color picker.
