What is a .KRA file?
A .KRA file is a type of picture file made by a program called Krita, which anyone can use for free on different types of computers. When you make a picture in Krita and save it, it becomes a .KRA file. This file can keep many parts of your picture separate, like layers (different pieces of your drawing that you can edit independently), adjustments (changes you make to the look of your picture), and special tools Krita offers, among other things. This is a bit like saving a project in other picture editing programs, such as how Adobe Photoshop uses .PSD files and GIMP uses .XCF files.
To open a .KRA file, you can use Krita itself since it's the program designed to work with these files. There's also a program called qView that can open .KRA files, but it might not support all the special features like layers and adjustments that Krita does. So, if you want to see and work with everything in your .KRA file just as you left it, using Krita is the best choice.
