Sources of KRA Problems

Frequent KRA Opening Issues

Krita Not Present

Double-clicking your KRA file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open KRA File". When this happens, it is commonly due to Krita missing in %%os%%. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the KRA file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.

Tip: If you know of another program that can open your KRA file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.

Obsolete Version of Krita

In other instances, your Krita Image file version may not be supported by your version of Krita. If you do not have the proper version Krita (or any of the other programs listed above), you may need to try downloading a different version of it, or one of the other software applications listed above. The primary cause of this problem is that your Krita Image file was created by a different (newer) version of Krita than what's installed.

Tip: Investigate your KRA file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.

Conclusion: The majority of KRA file opening issues are due to not having the correct Krita version installed.

Additional KRA Opening Issues

Assuming you have the right Krita version installed, other problems can prevent you from opening KRA files. If you are still having problems opening KRA files, there may be other issues that are preventing you from opening these files. These issues include:

• Invalid KRA file references in the Windows Registry (the "phonebook" of the Windows Operating System)
• The KRA file description within the Windows Registry was removed
• Incomplete or bad installation of a software application associated with the KRA format
• Your KRA can't be loaded properly (file corruption)
• Your KRA has adversely impacted by malware
• Device drivers for KRA-related hardware are out-of-date
• Insufficient system resources to successfully open Krita Image files
