  "textContent": "Today we're releasing Krita 5.2.16. The previous version of 5.2 had issues with saving heif, heic and avif files, and while we are busy preparing 5.3, we decided this was worth it to make another release over.\n\n## Download\n\n### Windows\n\nIf you're using the _portable zip files_ , just open the zip file in Explorer and drag the folder somewhere convenient, then double-click on the Krita icon in the folder. This will not impact an installed version of Krita, though it will share your settings and custom resources with your regular installed version of Krita. For reporting crashes, also get the debug symbols folder.\n\n> [!NOTE] We are no longer making 32-bit Windows builds.\n\n  * 64 bits Windows Installer: krita-x64-5.2.16-setup.exe\n\n  * Portable 64 bits Windows: krita-x64-5.2.16.zip\n\n  * Debug symbols. (Unpack in the Krita installation folder)\n\n\n\n\n### Linux\n\nNote: starting with recent releases, the minimum supported distro versions may change.\n\n> [!WARNING] Starting with recent AppImage runtime updates, some AppImageLauncher versions may be incompatible. See AppImage runtime docs for troubleshooting.\n\n  * 64 bits Linux: krita-5.2.16-x86_64.AppImage\n\n\n\n### MacOS\n\nNote: minimum supported MacOS may change between releases.\n\n  * MacOS disk image: krita-5.2.16-signed.dmg\n\n\n\n### Android\n\nKrita on Android is still **_beta_** ; tablets only.\n\n  * 64 bits Intel CPU APK\n\n  * 64 bits Arm CPU APK\n\n  * 32 bits Arm CPU APK\n\n\n\n\n### Source code\n\n  * krita-5.2.16.tar.gz\n\n  * krita-5.2.16.tar.xz\n\n\n\n\n### md5sum\n\nFor all downloads, visit https://download.kde.org/stable/krita/5.2.16/ and click on \"Details\" to get the hashes.\n\n### Key\n\nThe Linux AppImage and the source tarballs are signed.
