This versatile application boasts a comprehensive suite of features designed to enhance both productivity and enjoyment. Key features include advanced brush engines for sketching and painting, stabilizers for precise freehand inking, and assistants for building complex scenes.

Krita also offers broad file format compatibility, including PSD support.

Krita's capabilities extend beyond basic painting. It supports animation with onion skinning and storyboarding, offers comic book project management tools, allows scripting in Python, and includes a wide range of powerful filters, selection tools, colorizing tools, and color management workflows.
