Krita, alternative Linux à Microsoft Paint

Mis à jour le

Notre avis

Krita is a powerful replacement for Microsoft Paint, but it's aimed at a different user. If you're doing simple drawing or quick edits like cropping or resizing, Krita is overkill. Its interface is complex and not intuitive for casual users. However, for artists or anyone wanting to move beyond basic tools into serious digital painting, illustration, or concept art, Krita is far superior. It handles everything Paint does and vastly more. For the average Paint user looking for a Linux alternative, simpler tools like Pinta or KolourPaint might be better. Krita shines when you need depth, not simplicity.

Ouvrir vos fichiers Microsoft Paint

Krita can open and edit BMP and PNG files created in Microsoft Paint without issues. It exports to BMP, PNG, JPEG, and other formats Paint can read, ensuring basic compatibility. While Paint only handles simple raster images, Krita saves layered files in its native KRA format, which Paint cannot open. If you stick to flat image exports, file exchange works fine. Avoid using advanced Krita features if the end goal is Paint compatibility.
