How to install Krita
- Open the official publisher page using the button on this page.
- Choose the installer that matches your operating system and processor where the publisher offers more than one option.

- Launch the application and test a small, non-critical file before starting important work.
Your first useful task
Create a small canvas, test a few brushes on separate layers and save a Krita project before exporting a PNG. The project file preserves layers for later edits.
Before you choose
Krita is designed around painting and illustration. It can adjust images, but a photo-focused workflow may be easier in GIMP. Tablet behavior also depends on current device drivers.
GetFree4U does not host, bundle or modify installers. Keep original files and review the result before replacing anything important.
