Pinta als Linux-Alternative zu Procreate
Aktualisiert am
Unser Fazit
Pinta is not a direct replacement for Procreate. It is a simpler, Paint.NET-style editor meant for quick edits and basic drawing, not complex digital painting. If you need Procreate’s advanced brush engine, color mixing, or professional-grade tablet workflows, Pinta will feel limiting. However, if you just need a lightweight, native Linux tool for simple raster edits, basic layering, and light sketching, Pinta is a solid, free choice. It lacks the depth for serious artists but serves casual users well.

Was gleich funktioniert
- Both support raster graphics editing with layer management
- Both allow freehand drawing and basic shape tools
- Both are available on Linux (Pinta natively, Procreate via Wine/VM or not at all)
- Both support exporting to standard formats like PNG and JPEG
Was anders ist
- Pinta lacks a custom brush engine and pressure-sensitive tablet optimization
- Procreate has advanced color mixing and blending modes; Pinta has basic color adjustments
- Pinta’s interface is simpler and less feature-rich than Procreate’s pro-oriented tools
- Procreate is optimized for touch/tablet workflows; Pinta is mouse/keyboard-centric
Ihre Procreate-Dateien öffnen
Pinta can open and export common raster formats like PNG, JPEG, BMP, and TIFF, which Procreate also uses for exports. However, Pinta cannot open Procreate’s native .procreate file format. You must export your work from Procreate as a PNG or JPEG before importing it into Pinta.

- Install Pinta via your package manager or Flathub
- Open the exported image file in Pinta

Can Pinta handle pressure-sensitive tablets?
Pinta has basic tablet support, but it is not optimized for pressure sensitivity like Procreate. It may work with Wacom or other tablets, but the experience is less refined.
Is Pinta suitable for professional digital painting?
No. Pinta is designed for simple edits and casual drawing. For professional digital painting, consider GIMP or Krita instead.
Does Pinta support Procreate’s brush library?
No. Pinta has its own set of basic tools and effects. It cannot import or replicate Procreate’s custom brushes.
