MyPaint como alternativa Linux a Krita

Actualizado el

Nuestra opinión

MyPaint can replace Krita for users who mainly need a lightweight, tablet‑centric painting environment and are willing to forego advanced features like animation, extensive layer controls, and file format support. It works well for sketching, concept art, or quick brush‑based work, especially on Linux where native installation is straightforward.

Lo que funciona igual

  • Both are free, open‑source raster painting programs
  • Both support pressure‑sensitive tablets and tilt
  • Both have a large, configurable brush engine
  • Both can export to PNG/JPEG and other common formats

Lo que cambia

  • MyPaint lacks an animation timeline and advanced layer/mask management
  • It does not natively import or export Krita’s .kra files or Photoshop PSDs with layers
  • Krita offers a full feature set for illustration, comics, and animation, while MyPaint is a minimal canvas
  • Krita includes a built‑in brush library and pattern tools, MyPaint relies on external packs
  • MyPaint’s interface is distraction‑free, but lacks the organized panels Krita provides

Abrir tus archivos de Krita

MyPaint cannot open Krita’s .kra files directly. To transfer work, export from Krita as a flat PNG or OpenRaster, then open that file in MyPaint. For importing, you can use Krita’s export to OpenRaster and then import into MyPaint, but layer information will be lost.

Pasar de Krita a MyPaint, paso a paso

  1. Export your Krita project as a PNG or OpenRaster file.
  2. Open the exported file in MyPaint via File → Open.
  3. Re‑apply any brush settings manually, as MyPaint does not import Krita brush presets.
  4. Save your work in MyPaint’s preferred format (OpenRaster or PNG).
  5. If you need to return to Krita, re‑import the PNG and rebuild layers manually.

Preguntas frecuentes

Can I use Krita brushes in MyPaint?

MyPaint can import brush files in its own format, but it does not read Krita’s brush presets directly. You would need to export brushes from Krita and convert them manually, which is non‑trivial.

Does MyPaint support animation?

No. MyPaint has no timeline or frame‑by‑frame animation tools; it is purely a painting program.

Is MyPaint suitable for detailed illustration work?

It can handle basic illustration, but lacks advanced layer masks, vector tools, and precise selection tools that Krita offers.
