Extract text from Krita presets (KPP)
To convert KPP presets to another format, you need Krita or other Settings software.
To convert other file formats to the "Brush Preset File" file type, you need software like Krita or a similar tool.
A .kpp file is primarily a Krita brush preset file, utilized by the open-source digital painting application Krita. This format saves specific parameters for customized brushes, including dynamics, flow, opacity, and texture settings. Rarely, the extension is also used for legacy Kid Pix Presentation files created by The Learning Company in the 1990s.
The main disadvantage of the .kpp format is its strict engine dependency. You cannot natively import Krita presets into Adobe Photoshop or CorelDRAW because their brush rendering engines calculate strokes differently. Sharing standalone .kpp files is also inefficient, as most modern workflows require packing these presets into bundle archives for easier installation.
Standard online converters fail to turn a .kpp file into an ABR (Photoshop brush) because the mathematical data does not translate between platforms. However, internally, a Krita .kpp file is often structured as a PNG image format. The file displays the brush thumbnail while secretly storing the brush configuration as embedded XML metadata.
Just drag and drop your file to identify the format, view it, and convert it when possible. convert.guru can analyze the .kpp file to extract the underlying PNG thumbnail or reveal the embedded text data, offering a realistic workaround for unsupported preset files.
Convert.Guru analyzes your KPP file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted KPX, BRUSHSET, BUNDLE, PNG, GBR, FBC, FTMB and HCR files.
If you want to convert KPP file to CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, INI, CFG, CONF, DAT, DB or SQL, you can use Krita or similar software from the "Brush Configuration Settings" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DBF, XML, SQLITE, XLSX, SQL, TSV, ACCDB, YAML, MDB, CSV, ODS or JSON files to KPP, try Krita or another comparable tool in the "Brush Configuration Settings" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our KPP converter.
