Krita als Linux-Alternative zu MS Paint
Aktualisiert am
Unser Fazit
Krita can replace MS Paint for users who need more than the bare‑bones drawing tools that Paint offers. It handles all the file formats Paint supports, provides brushes, layers, and colour‑space options, and runs natively on Linux. However, its interface and feature set are far richer, so casual users who only want a quick doodle may find it heavyweight. For hobbyists, students, or anyone who wants to grow into more advanced digital art, Krita is a solid, free alternative.

Ihre MS Paint-Dateien öffnen
Krita opens all the raster formats that MS Paint uses (BMP, JPEG, GIF, PNG, TIFF) without issue, and it can export back to the same formats. There is no native .paint file format, so if you have legacy Paint files saved in a proprietary container, you would need to open them in Paint on Windows first or convert them to a supported raster format.
Von MS Paint zu Krita wechseln – Schritt für Schritt
- Install Krita from your distro’s repository or via Flatpak/AppImage.
- Launch Krita and set the default colour profile to sRGB for compatibility.
- Open your existing BMP/PNG/JPEG files to verify they display correctly.
- Adjust the canvas size or crop using the Image → Crop tool if needed.
- Save or export the edited image back to BMP, PNG, or JPEG for use in other Windows programs.

Can I use Krita for quick sketches like I did with Paint?
Yes, but you’ll need to close the extra panels you don’t need; the canvas and brush tools work fine for fast doodles.
Is Krita’s performance acceptable on low‑end hardware?
Krita is heavier than Paint; on very old machines it may feel sluggish, especially with large brushes or multiple layers.
Do I lose any features when saving from Krita to BMP for use in Paint?
When exporting to BMP, Krita flattens layers and discards any alpha channel, which matches Paint’s capabilities.
