"Excellent open source image editor!"
5/5
What do you like best about Krita?

Krita is an excellent image editor and is very useful for preparing the images for our posts. It is straightforward to use, really intuitive, and its features and tools offer all the options we could ever need.

Also, Krita allows us to customize the entire interface so that I can put my favorite tools in an accessible place. It has many easily configurable options, even with the right-click, which helps save time in editing.

Furthermore, it is quite light software, so I can edit images without experiencing lag, and being compatible with practically any format, I can export my work as I need it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Krita?

It is an open-source program, which implies that anyone can use it for free, but this has a negative part, and that is that it continually has updates that can bring usability problems (although it is not frequent).

On the other hand, although it has many functions and tools, some are still missing, such as the draft funds, but someday they will include it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"An easy to use and free image editor."
4/5
What do you like best about Krita?

Krita really is very option to have it as the editing program that one used, it is completely free so there is no excuse for not using it, it has a very easy to use interface so it has everything at a glance, it has many options at the time of the edition so everything can be customized. I like that even if you are new to the world of simple digital painting, like me; Krita is a good tool for us. It is easy to have and works well. It also has good performance on any pc with tools that can be modified. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Krita?

Although it is a positive point it is constantly updating and correcting problems, but when they arrive they usually bring more errors than the past ones, a situation that is solved in a short time; Although at the moment it is cumbersome and more and you have a project on the way.

"Free, easily manageable art program"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Krita?

Krita is simple to use and can be learned in a short amount of time. The tools are easy to use and there are tons of available brushes and types to choose from. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Krita?

The downsides to Krita that I've experienced so far is the possiblity of the program crashing after it has trouble responding. But if you save your work often enough, losing something will not be a major problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fun tool to draw cute things"
5/5
What do you like best about Krita?

Kid and adult friendly. I use this in my bakery when a kid wants to draw his own cake. The intro image is a cute drawing and that immediately draws their interest. Then we can import an image from a USB or start free drawing with any of the tools, normally a really cute design is achieved in less than 5 minutes. It's also free software so no charge at all but I made a donation since this software is so useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Krita?

Nothing at all. It's kind of sad that this software is not well known, it's easy to use and really cute. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The best open source alternative to photoshop for professional illustration"
5/5
What do you like best about Krita?

Pencils. Krita's pencils are by far the best tools you can find in a digital drawing software. The softness it's similar to the real ones, and the stroke it's straight, regular, without any flaw. This is a great feature for whoevere, like me, prefers to start the drawing project in digital instead then sketching on paper and scan Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Krita?

sometimes the software uses a lot of ram and start to lag a bit. I guess, the hardware requirements could be improved Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"For Drawing in a Breeze"
5/5
What do you like best about Krita?

This software is a wonder to be able to create drawings and get the most out of your wacom tablet. It seems perfectly designed to take advantage of the functions of your tablet and touch pen, since the program responds perfectly to the pressure, angle and speed of the pencil and adapts perfectly to your style as a draftsman.

One of the things that most caught my attention when they told me about Krita was the possibility of using it to simulate the textures and mixing modes of the different tools that it incorporates, such as the brush, the oil brush, markers, watercolors, airbrush, rake, graphite pencil, colored pencils, wax pencils, and other infinity of real-world drawing and art materials that are masterfully simulated by Krita. The variety of effects you can achieve is truly impressive.

It is amazing that a program like this is free, taking into account that even Photoshop, which is quite expensive, offers you so much versatility when it comes to creating strokes with your drawing tablet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Krita?

What I do not like, maybe it is not a defect of Krita, but rather what differentiates it from Photoshop. It is missing filters and layer styles that you do have in other design programs. But again, Krita is for drawing and painting and not for retouching photographs or making special effects on images. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

4.5/5
What do you like best about Krita?

Krita is a fork of Gimp, created to design sketches, paintings, or inventive emblems for organizations or web layouts as we use it in the company. The application is free and open source, continuing to be multi-platform (home Windows, Linux, and Mac). Our main use of Krita is the creation of logos and price ranges on the websites created by our crew.

Other excellent features of Krita:

+ The software could be very stable, in all versions (Windows, Linux, Mac)

+ A lot of documentation allows its community to learn how to do all kinds of things with Krita.

+ Krita supports a large number of codecs from other applications like Photoshop or GIMP

+ A large number of brushes and plugins that you can choose from for your designs, among others

+ The several hundred very fast with an SSD drive, unlike other applications of the same type like Photoshop, Krita is very light and does not consume many resources now Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Krita?

The user interface of the utility is a bit outdated, should update it a little and upload larger descriptive icons. You could also upload some scripts by default. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Make art with this"
4/5
What do you like best about Krita?

Krita is free. You don't have to buy it, you don't have to rent it. It's a community project, and as a result you already "own" it to a degree that it is impossible with programs like Photoshop or others, no matter how much money you spend.Also has a lot of pixel art features such as pixel art brushes,palettes,wrap around mode! to create seamless textures and many more Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Krita?

It's not the best for pixel art. If doing realistic amiga pixel art, better off pairing with pixatool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
