How to convert KRA to PNG

  1. Add your KRA paintings

    Drop KRA (Krita) files onto the box above, or click it to choose them. ToAny reads the file's contents to detect the type, so a wrong extension does not matter.

  2. PNG is already chosen

    Press Convert. Open Options first if you want to change the defaults. The work happens in this tab.

  3. Download

    Save the PNG, or download everything as one ZIP if you converted several files.

Why ToAny

  • Private by construction

    The KRA to PNG converter is part of this page and runs inside your browser. Your paintings are never sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

  • No upload, no queue

    Nothing has to travel to a server and back, so the conversion starts the moment you press Convert, even on a slow connection.

  • Free, without an account

    No sign-up, no email address and no watermark. Add several files and download them together as a ZIP.

KRA to PNG: what to expect

KRA opens only in Krita, and the layers are meaningless elsewhere. PNG keeps every pixel exactly and supports transparent backgrounds. KRA is at home in digital painting that is still being edited; PNG is the usual choice for screenshots, logos, graphics with text or transparency.

The defaults suit most files. Under Options you can resize the result.

The picture is the flattened image that Krita stored in the file, so the layers are not kept and cannot be edited afterwards.

KRA vs PNG

KRA

Krita document

KRA is the native file of Krita, the free painting program. It is a ZIP archive holding every layer, its masks and settings, plus a merged preview, so a painting can be reopened and edited layer by layer. Few programs outside Krita read it.

Opens in Krita; some other editors with a plug-in

PNG image

PNG stores every pixel exactly, with optional transparency. It was created as a patent-free replacement for GIF and is the standard for screenshots, logos and interface graphics. Photos saved as PNG are several times larger than the same photo as JPG.

Questions

Are my paintings uploaded anywhere?

No. The KRA to PNG conversion runs inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. The file is not sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

Does converting KRA to PNG reduce quality?

No further quality is lost: PNG stores the decoded pixels exactly. The result is identical in content.

Can I convert several KRA files at once?

Yes. Add as many as you like, convert them together and download each result or all of them as one ZIP.

How do I convert KRA to PNG on Windows, Mac, iPhone or Android?

The steps are the same everywhere because ToAny runs in the web browser: open this page in a current version of Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox, add the KRA file, press Convert and save the PNG. There is nothing to install.

Is there a file size limit?

Pictures of up to 120 megapixels are accepted (for example 12,000 by 10,000 pixels); a larger one is refused with a message. Beyond that the limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded; a computer copes with large files better than a phone.
