About

Painting, sketching, making comics, animating: Krita provides a solid tool for millions of artists around the world. Used professionally, in studios or by freelances, or putting a high-quality free tool in the hands of hobbyists, Krita is a big project where there's a lot to be done!

Krita is developed by a small team of core developers: currently only nine people, as well as a world-wide community of volunteer contributors. The work the core team does is essential for keeping Krita's development up to speed, to focus on maintaining a solid and stable application.

Krita has been around for over twenty years, the project was started by the KDE community in 1998. And Krita is growing! With millions of users every month, there is always something to improve on, add or polish.
