What is a KRA_ file?
KRA_ files mostly belong to Krita. A *.KRA file is a Krita image file, primarily used as a drawing project file by digital artists. It's saved in a ZIP-compressed format, containing various data such as layers, masks, brush settings, and other elements that make up a digital artwork in Krita. This format allows artists to save their work-in-progress and return to it later, preserving all the individual components of their creation. The Krita application, known for its robust features and open-source nature, utilizes the *.KRA format as its default saving mechanism for projects.
