Krita 5.3.4 released!

17. September 2026 By admin

Krita, my favorite free and open-source paining application, has received another stability and bugfix release. Beside that, it also adds video export for Android, but also removes the old, and not maintained GIMP XCF import. So, be aware of that!

Thanks to all developers and supporters for this great project!

Happy painting,

Helge

Krita 5.2.14 release!

11. December 2025 By admin

Good news for all you digital painters: Krita 5.2.14 has been released.

Krita is for me the best digital painting application on the desktop and it’s free and open-source! I use if for making game assets, drafts and also animated characters for games.

This version is (almost) entirely a bug fix release and concludes the Krita 5.2 series.
The focus now shifts towards Krita versions 5.3 and 6.0 in the next year 🙂

As mentioned, this version primarily focuses on bug fixes, but the color picker has also been improved. Nice!

Have fun!
