krita-ai-tools - AI Image Tools Tool

Overview

krita-ai-tools is an open-source collection of AI-powered utilities packaged as a plugin for Krita, focused on improving selection, segmentation, and mask workflows for digital painters. The project integrates BiRefNet-based models to produce precise segmentation and mask generation, with an emphasis on accuracy and performance during common painting tasks. It is built against Krita 5.2.x to ensure compatibility with Krita’s selection and layer systems. The plugin is distributed via the project's GitHub releases page (https://github.com/Acly/krita-ai-tools/releases) where users can download release assets and view change logs. As a plugin, it is intended to be integrated into an artist’s existing Krita workflow to speed tasks such as subject extraction, selection refinement, and mask creation while keeping results editable inside Krita.
