Krita 5.3.4 Released!

Previous Post | Tuesday, 15 September 2026 | Reading time: 4 minutes |

Today we're releasing Krita 5.3.4 and 6.0.4, containing many bugfixes and improvements across the board. It also finally brings video exports to Android, which means you can now render animations and timelapses from the recorder. Apart from that, Arkady Flury has been improving Krita's icons at a steady rate. Thanks! Also of note: the GIMP XCF file import plugin has been removed. The plugin relied on a third party library that is no longer maintained and had many security issues.

Changelog

Warning

We consider Krita 5.3.4 suitable for productive work; 6.0.4 is, because of the many changes from Qt5 to Qt6 more experimental.

Download 5.3.4

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. On Wayland, Krita is only tested against KDE Plasma's KWin. Other compositors may not be fully compatible.

Warning

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

MacOS

Warning

With Krita 5.3.4 release minimum supported MacOS version has increased from 10.14 (Mojave) to 10.15 (Catalina)

Android

Krita on Android is still beta; tablets only.

Source code

Source code is the same as 6.0.4. See the 6.0.4 section.
