Brushfactory Convert Krita to Photoshop

Convert Krita brushes to Photoshop

Want to use Krita brushes in Photoshop? Photoshop cannot open .kpp files, and no version of it reads them. Converting the .kpp to .abr creates a file Photoshop imports natively. Tip imagery, grain with its blend mode and pressure curves are written as native Photoshop controls.

Convert a .kpp now All formats

How it works

Upload your Krita brush. Drop the .kpp file into the converter. We support multi-brush files.
Pick Photoshop as the target. You can select several targets at once and get one download per format.
Download and install. In Photoshop, open Window › Brushes, then use the panel menu › Import Brushes… and pick the .abr file. On iPad, import from the Brushes panel.

What carries over

From Krita: The full preset. This includes the brush tip, texture with scale and strength, spacing, and pressure curves per parameter.

Writing to Photoshop: Dynamics are written as native Photoshop controls. Grain becomes a Photoshop texture with the closest blend mode, verified against real commercial .abr files.

Common questions

Will the brush feel the same in Photoshop? Yes. Brushfactory maps your brush directly to native Photoshop settings. Strokes are never rasterized or estimated. If a setting has no exact equivalent, the result screen names anything that had to be adjusted.

Is it free? A free account gets you monthly conversions at no cost. Pro removes the limits and adds batch conversion.

What happens to your files? Files uploaded for conversion are deleted after processing. If you choose to attach a brush to a feedback report, that separate support copy is stored privately for up to 30 days.

How do you use Krita brushes in Photoshop? Photoshop cannot open .kpp files, so the brush needs converting first. Upload the .kpp file, download the converted .abr file, and import it the way Photoshop imports its own brushes.

Can .kpp files be imported into Photoshop directly? No. Photoshop does not read .kpp files. Converting the .kpp to .abr creates a file Photoshop imports natively.
