Download summary

Krita is a graphics app for Windows/macOS/Linux, published by KDE. A direct package URL is recorded below. The host may be the publisher, a release repository, a CDN, or another distribution source documented by the publisher. Some packages still fetch optional components during setup. The recorded publisher site is krita.org. We do not host or modify installer files.

Choose a package

Windows installer or ZIP

Choose the EXE for the normal Windows setup and included shell-extension option. Choose the ZIP when you need an extracted copy.

The ZIP does not automatically add Explorer document previews. “Portable” packaging does not establish where every setting, resource or plug-in will be saved.

Website build or paid store edition

The publisher offers free desktop downloads; paid store editions are another way to obtain Krita and support development.

Store editions offer their store’s update workflow. Do not pay a third-party download gate merely to reach a free publisher package.

Linux AppImage

Choose the publisher’s AppImage for its packaged Linux build after checking compatibility.

Verify the publisher signature using its instructions, then prepare executable permission and required host support. The AppImage is not evidence that your tablet driver or all runtime requirements are included.

Package guidance is based on the linked documentation, checked 11 September 2026. No installation test is claimed.

Verification scope

A direct package URL is recorded above. We have not independently installed every listed build or confirmed that setup remains fully offline.

We do not host software files. Links may resolve to a publisher domain, its release repository, app store, CDN, or a documented distribution host — confirm the final hostname, publisher signature, version, and architecture before deployment. Recorded URLs last checked 30 August 2026; content last updated 11 September 2026.

What Krita does

Krita 5.3.3 is KDE's GPL-licensed painting application for Windows, macOS, and Linux. This record now identifies the publisher's Windows x64 installer and portable ZIP, signed macOS DMG, and Linux x86-64 AppImage instead of linking only to a directory. The release provides no 32-bit Windows build; its published requirements start at Windows 8.1 and macOS 10.15.

Krita's brush engines, layers, masks, animation workspace, and tablet input are aimed at illustration and painting. Tablet pressure, tilt, rotation, and acceleration depend on the tablet, driver, operating system, canvas settings, and brush engine, so support is not a promise that every device exposes every input. Large canvases, animation frames, filters, and high-bit-depth documents can substantially increase memory and scratch-space use.

KRA is the native format. PSD and other imports are interoperability paths, not lossless round-trip guarantees; unsupported Photoshop effects, text, smart objects, color features, or animation data can change. Preserve a KRA master and test representative assets. Python plug-ins execute code and can have version-specific dependencies.

KDE publishes a detached signature for the Linux AppImage and versioned package details in the release directory. This review did not install Krita, verify the detached signature locally, test a tablet, or round-trip PSD files.

Installation notes

Grouped by the package types recorded on this page — not a claim that every listed build was independently tested on every supported platform.

Windows Windows archive (ZIP/7Z)

1
Extract the recorded file (krita-x64-5.3.3.zip) into a separate folder and check the publisher's instructions for the executable or setup program inside. ZIP/7Z describes compression, not installation behavior.
2
A no-installer build may still store settings, credentials, caches, or Registry entries outside that folder. Check Krita's configuration and removal instructions before moving or deleting it.

Windows Windows installer (EXE)

1
Download the recorded file (krita-x64-5.3.3-setup.exe). If it has a digital signature, inspect the signer and validation result in Properties → Digital Signatures. If no signature is present, follow the publisher's documented verification method; a missing signature does not authenticate the file.
2
Check any Windows warning before proceeding. A SmartScreen reputation warning is not signature verification; stop if the publisher is unexpected or the file is reported as malicious.
3
Follow the publisher's setup prompts to finish; options vary by release, so review each screen rather than clicking through.

macOS macOS disk image (DMG)

1
Open the disk image and follow the publisher's instructions for its contents. It may contain an app to copy to Applications or a separate installer.
2
Check first-launch security prompts. For damaged, revoked, or unverified software, stop and check the publisher's current package and Apple's guidance before proceeding.

Linux Linux AppImage

1
After verifying the recorded file (krita-5.3.3-x86_64.AppImage), enable its executable permission and use the publisher's launch instructions. Check the supported distribution, architecture, and runtime dependencies, including FUSE where required.
2
Application settings and desktop integration can live outside the AppImage. Removing the file does not necessarily remove that data.
