At the time I couldn't afford Adobe Photoshop or Procreate and coming across Krita was a good send. It has all the features of a software behind a pay wall and works even better. ----- ### "Krita is invaluable in my 3D workflow" — 5.0/5 > **Kaylen** | *29 March 2026* | Computer Games | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is free and open source. It is part of my workflow, I use it to edit textures for 3D models. It is also great for drawing and painting digital art. It also has the capability to do 2D animation. > > **Cons**: The Animation tools are better than photoshop but I really wish they were simpler and more intuitive like Aseprite. Overall it is good but difficult to get used to, however I don't use that function so much. I also would like to see a separate RGB channel editor like Photoshop. > > Overall Krita is a great drawing/painting tool. It is very useful for my needs as a 3D artist who mostly focuses on hand painted textures. I also love drawing and painting with it. Also, I like that you can export files into almost any file type that is needed. ----- ### "Krita can be better." — 3.0/5 > **afsheen** | *02 December 2024* | Apparel & Fashion | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like ease of use as a beginner in designing with no background in graphic designing. > > **Cons**: It lag a lot. It very annoying and made me think to quit it. > > I love designing on it and the best thing its free to use. ----- ### "Good free software, not perfect" — 4.0/5 > **Adem** | *10 March 2026* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Probably the best drawing software that is completely free. Very intuitive for drawing tablets, a LOT of brushes for every possible art style And the community has a lot of creative and helpful assets to use > > **Cons**: A major disadvantage of it being free is the lack of optimization and laziness in some departments. It is extremely laggy and slow, and instead of tools being separated as tools, most are just brushes that feel like they weren't thought about > > If you have no money to invest in a drawing software, Krita is the best choice for you, thought I would recommend to upgrade as soon as you can to something more professional like Adobe Photoshop or Clip Studio Paint (not an ad) ----- ### "Start animating 2D" — 4.0/5 > **Juan** | *05 August 2024* | Outsourcing/Offshoring | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is easy yo use if you have use other software that do the same. > > **Cons**: For what I need to do, I have no complaints. ----- Page: 1 / 5\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/209859/krita?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/209859/krita) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
