Krita export (in Zig)

Experimental

This is a library and a program to read krita files, export their layers, and combine them into a final image.

Usage

Build with zig build -Doptimize=ReleaseFast and use the resulting krita-export executable:

krita-export - Export layers from a Krita file

Usage:
  krita-export [options]

Options:
  -i <input>      Input file
  -o              Overwrite existing extraction folder
  -l <log_level>  Log level
  -j <jobs>       Number of jobs
  -k              Don't delete the temporary folder
  -h              Print this help

For example, download the source file of Mozilla leadership by David Revoy (CC-BY 4.0) and render all layers individually and combined:

krita-export -i 2024-09-18_mozilla-leadership.kra -l info -j 8

You should obtain an image (almost?) identical, minus the vector layer (the credits on the bottom right).
