KDE Partition Manager is a graphical application for managing disk devices, partitions and file systems on Linux. It provides tools for creating, deleting, resizing, moving and copying partitions, allowing users to reorganise storage without relying on command-line utilities.
The application is developed by KDE and uses the KPMcore library to handle storage operations. It supports a wide range of file systems, including ext2/3/4, Btrfs, NTFS, FAT and XFS. The available operations depend on the file system and supporting utilities installed on the system.
KDE Partition Manager can also back up and restore partitions, manage file system labels and work with encrypted storage. Operations that modify existing partitions should always be preceded by a backup of important data.
This is free and open source software.
