Plugin for Krita which adds various tools and filters based on machine learning:
- Selection tools to mask objects in your image
- Background removal filter
- Alternative "Smart Patch" for filling/smoothing small areas
Click on things to select them!
SegmentFromPoint.mp4
Draw a box around things to select them!
SegmentFromBox.mp4
Select "Precise" in Tool options to get better quality masks. Depending on hardware the operation can take several seconds. This model typically extracts all foreground objects in the area, rather than one specific object that is contained entirely in the box.
Filter which extracts colors belonging to foreground objects in a layer. You can find it at Filters › Other › Background Removal...
The current version of the plugin is built for Krita 5.2.11. Using it with other versions may lead to crashes.
You can download the latest version of the plugin from the releases page. Currently Windows and Linux are supported.
Since version 2.0, the plugin can be installed as a Python extension.
In Krita, go to Tools › Scripts › Import Python Plugin from File...
and select the .zip file you downloaded.
Accept and restart Krita. The plugin should now be active, and the tools appear in the tool bar.

Warning
If you have an older version (before 2.0) of the plugin installed, please remove it first. The easiest way is re-installing the latest version of Krita (you will keep your settings).
The Plugin comes with a default ML model for each task. There are alternative models which can yield higher precision and better results, but usually at the cost of running slower and higher memory requirements.
Model files have the .gguf file extension.
You can find the location where to place models with the "Folder" button in the Background Removal Filter dialog.
To build the plugin, it has to be part of the Krita source tree and build alongside. Refer to Building Krita from Source for setting up the environment.

cd krita/plugins
git clone https://github.com/Acly/krita-ai-tools.gitNext modify the CMakeLists.txt in the same folder (krita/plugins) by
appending the following line:
add_subdirectory( krita-ai-tools )Now build and install Krita as usual according to official instructions, and the plugin will be built alongside.
- Inference implementation: vision.cpp
- Object detection: Segment Anything Model, MobileSAM
- Dichotomous segmentation: BiRefNet
- Inpainting: MI-GAN
