It is also easy to integrate with our existing processes since once designed, an image can be saved in the commonly used formats such as JPEG or PNG. > > **Cons**: What I liked least about Krita is that editing an imported image is not as intuitive as creating one from scratch, but I consider that a minor issue. On the whole, I like the software. > > My overall experience with Krita has been fun and exciting. It is a simple-to-use software with lots of functionalities to explore. ----- ### "Best free drawing software." — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *13 July 2022* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the amount of free brushes offered by Krita, it has helped me truly bring out very fine details in my drawings. It has a very simple UI that I can easily navigate. Krita also has very cool filters and effects that I use for image editing. It has great hotkey functions that give me shortcuts while drawing. > > **Cons**: I don't enjoy the slow start up time. The text editor is not great and it's very difficult to edit once added to my drawing. > > I really enjoy using Krita, it is extremely user friendly and offers a wide selection of free brushes for me to use. The cool filters and effects help make my drawings and animations stand out. I love how simple the UI is to navigate. I would not recommend Krita as a text editor but I would definitely recommend Krita for anyone needing 2D drawing or animation software. ----- ### "My experience of more than 6 months" — 3.0/5 > **Naiiera** | *10 July 2022* | Arts & Crafts | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: The best thing about this software is that it's free, and almost all the devices can work properly with it, without any glitches unlike photoshop or clip studio which need a powerful PC. > > **Cons**: The program is a bit complicated, it misses a lot of important features, and the interface needs to be more user-friendly. I felt very frustrated as I can't download additional brushes. ----- ### "Krita - Should Cost a Fortune, is Free" — 5.0/5 > **Zandrich** | *20 August 2021* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Krita is the best software in terms of illustration that I've used in my 12+ years in the industry; it is far more intuitive than competitors like Adobe Photoshop because Krita has been developed primarily as illustrating software. It marries the ease-of-use in Adobe Illustrator with some of the more complex brushes and rastering in Adobe Photoshop; although I use both latter products daily, I use neither for illustration - that is Krita's domain. Despite being the absolute best illustrating software on the market, Krita is 100% free to use, own and edit - it is fully open source, effectively meaning you, and everyone else, own it indefinitely. There are no "free trials", potential subscriptions or fees related to deploying it, which has converted me for life. > > **Cons**: In the years that I've used Krita, I've not come across a single issue that has hindered my ability to use the software. The few times I've run into seemingly unsolvable issues, a quick trip to the Krita forums helped me clear it up in a jiffy. > > Krita is a powerful (and free) illustration suite maintained by a large group of passionate artists and developers. Myself and my team in our illustration department have been making thorough use of it for years, and couldn't be more satisfied with what it offers. Since there are no licensing requirements (even for large teams), the suite as a whole has saved us a small fortune, allowing us to divert our attention to our work, rather than worrying about expenses and whether or not our returns cover annual licenses. ----- ### "One of the best digital painting software." — 4.0/5 > **Angela** | *26 March 2022* | Human Resources | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I was a newbie in painting and drawing editing. I have learned the features I need very quickly. I have always found a very supportive community for all-level users. > > **Cons**: In my opinion, the manual is to be improved. Sometimes I need quick information about how to interpret a feature, an instruction. The manual doesn't contain the necessary information and lacks clarity. > > I make good quality designs that I can publish in self-made coloring books, and I learned to do this very quickly. ----- Page: 1 / 5\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2029675/krita?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2029675/krita) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
