Krita 5.3.3 Released!

Previous Post | Wednesday, 29 July 2026 | Reading time: 5 minutes |

Today we're releasing Krita 5.3.3 and 6.0.3, containing many bugfixes and improvements across the board.

Android Donations and Supporter benefits

On Android, version 5.3.3 lets you support Krita's development directly through the application. This goes through the Play Store, so if you have a device without Google services or are using a debug or nightly version of Krita, it won't be available and instead will show you donation links.

In return for supporting Krita, you'll be able to download resource bundles directly in the application, including the paid Digital Atelier bundle. The splash screen and welcome page will also tell you about the supporter packs or donation links. You are not required to make any purchases, no features are locked behind a paywall and you won't get nagged about it while you're actually working. You can also of course still manually import resource bundles, the downloads are just a convenience feature.

For a longer explanation and a way to give feedback or ideas, take a look at this forum post.

Changelog

Special thanks to Freya Lupen and Elena Sagalaeva, for multiple bug fixes, as well as the many newcomers who contributed to this release (named in the changelog).

Warning

We consider Krita 5.3.3 suitable for productive work; 6.0.3 is, because of the many changes from Qt5 to Qt6 more experimental.

Download 5.3.3

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.

With Krita 5.3.3 release minimum supported MacOS version has increased from 10.14 (Mojave) to 10.15 (Catalina)
