What is a .KRA file?
KRA is the native format of Krita, a free painting app for digital artists. Created and opened by Krita.
- Did you know
- Krita grew out of the KDE project and is built specifically for digital painting.
- Krita was originally called KImageShop, then Krayon, before trademark trouble led to the name Krita in 2002.
- Inside a KRA the layers are stored as XML and PNG data, with a “mimetype” entry reading “application/x-krita”.
- What Analyser reads
- Identify design-app files: Figma (FIG), Sketch, Affinity Photo/Designer/Publisher, Procreate, GIMP (XCF), Krita (KRA), Paint.NET, and Substance.
- Depth of analysis
- .KRA is an identification-grade format: Analyser recognises it from its bytes and decodes the header metadata it carries, rather than opening it in a full viewer. Formats that do get a full viewer are marked "Full" on the formats page.
- Open a .KRA file
- Drag a .KRA file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It is identified entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
