Krita Brush at a glance
Krita Brush
Convert to GBRUSH when the goal is to preserve or distribute a reusable bitmap brush for GIMP rather than export final artwork.
It is the right target for custom brush libraries, textured painting presets, and migration of legacy GIMP brush assets into a maintained toolkit.
EMF at a glance
EMF
Convert to EMF when placing vector graphics into Windows-centric documents, presentations, reporting systems, or print workflows that expect an Office-friendly scalable graphic.
It is suitable for charts, diagrams, and embedded illustrations in desktop-office environments.
For cross-platform web and design exchange, SVG or PDF are often better choices.
