Krita v4.0

[Arthur]

Website / Download: Windows: x64 or Microsoft Store / macOS: x64 / Release Notes

 

With a complete rewrite of the vector layer file format, the addition of Python scripting, a new text tool and much more, Krita 4.0 is one of the biggest releases ever. There is so much to explore and enjoy! As a team, we’re happy and proud to have reached this milestone and we’re looking forward to build on Krita 4 for many releases to come!

 

Before we begin telling you about all the new and improved things, take a moment to read this warning:

 

Krita 4 has a new file format for vector and text objects. Krita 4 tries to import Krita 3 and older files. Krita 3 and older will not be able to read vector and text objects saved by Krita 4. Because the new file format and the old file format are not 100% compatible, images with vector and text objects might look different in Krita 4. We recommend:

 

• To always keep a backup of your Krita 3 files before working on them in Krita4!
  
• In some cases, to convert your vector and text layers to raster layers before working on your old files in Krita 4!
  

Note that on all platforms it is possible to keep Krita 3 and Krita 4 running side by side. On Windows, use the zip archive downloads, on Linux the appimages and on OSX the disk images, dragged to some other place than Applications. Krita 4 and Krita 3 share settings and resources.
