Krita 5.2 launches with enhanced animation and text handling and improved user experience

Krita, the professional-grade, free, and open-source painting program, has launched its version 5.2, a few months after the beta release. The new release encompasses a variety of novel features, including substantial modifications in text and animation-audio handling, along with smaller tweaks such as the ability to transform all selected layers.

The latest version addresses two significant challenges in animation: synchronized playback of audio and simplified video export. Krita 5.2 is not just about new features; it also presents a host of improvements and bug fixes, enhancing the overall user experience.

The release notes detail an array of new features, but one notable update is the welcome screen, which now includes larger thumbnails for recent images. This release marks another milestone for Krita in its quest to provide a robust and user-friendly digital painting program.
