About

This flatpak is community maintained. Please report Flatpak specific bugs that do not occur on the upstream AppImage at https://github.com/flathub/org.kde.krita/issues. Krita is the full-featured digital art studio. It is perfect for sketching and painting, and presents an end–to–end solution for creating digital painting files from scratch by masters. Krita is a great choice for creating concept art, comics, textures for rendering and matte paintings. Krita supports many colorspaces like RGB and CMYK at 8 and 16 bits integer channels, as well as 16 and 32 bits floating point channels. Have fun painting with the advanced brush engines, amazing filters and many handy features that make Krita enormously productive.

Changelog

A minor bugfix release for the Krita Stable channel

Flatpak sandbox
Wide access

Runs in a sandbox, but a broad part of it is open — typical for tools that need to manage your files or system. It shows what the app is able to do, not what it does.

What it can access
  • Reads and changes all your files
  • Uses the internet
  • Plays and records audio
  • Uses the older X11 display system, which doesn't isolate windows from each other
