What is a KPL file?

KPL files mostly belong to Krita. KPL files are not a single format and have multiple uses.
One common use is as a Krita color palette file. These files use the ZIP format to store a set of colors for digital painting. You can import them into Krita to use these palettes.
Another type is a Kitchen Planner layout file used by KitchenDraw. This file holds design and spatial data for kitchen layouts.
Additionally, some KPL files serve as playlists for multimedia applications such as the K-Lite Codec Pack, K-Multimedia Player, or Zoom Player. These playlist files are simple text files encoded in UTF-16 (LE) or UTF-8.
  • Krita color palette: Open with Krita; inspect the ZIP structure if needed. See Krita.
  • Kitchen Planner layout: Use KitchenDraw to view design elements. Visit KitchenDraw.
  • K-Lite playlist: Play with media players like KMPlayer or Zoom Player; check CodecGuide for details.
  • FilExt.com tip: Each version has a specific purpose. Match the file with the correct software to open and view its contents.

    How to open a KPL file

    You need a suitable software like Krita to open a KPL file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your KPL file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a KPL file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
