Krita 5.3.2.1 Released!

Previous Post | Tuesday, 2 June 2026 | Reading time: 3 minutes |

Hot on the heels of Krita 5.3.2, we're releasing Krita 5.3.2.1. 5.3.2 had a bug with the layer docker that was very pervasive, and could cause anything from unsynced layers to crashes to groups not behaving as they should. 5.3.2.1 fixes this. Furthermore, we also had some issues where the Windows packages weren't signed. This too should now be fixed.

[!WARNING] We consider Krita 5.3.2.1 suitable for productive work; 6.0.2.1 is, because of the many changes from Qt5 to Qt6 more experimental.

Download 5.3.2.1

Windows

If you're using the portable zip files, just open the zip file in Explorer and drag the folder somewhere convenient, then double-click on the Krita icon in the folder. This will not impact an installed version of Krita, though it will share your settings and custom resources with your regular installed version of Krita. For reporting crashes, also get the debug symbols folder.

[!NOTE] We are no longer making 32-bit Windows builds.

Linux

Note: starting with recent releases, the minimum supported distro versions may change.

[!WARNING] Starting with recent AppImage runtime updates, some AppImageLauncher versions may be incompatible. See AppImage runtime docs for troubleshooting.

MacOS

Note: minimum supported MacOS may change between releases.

Android

Krita on Android is still beta; tablets only.
