About
ArtCraft builds a collection of seventeen native, open-source desktop apps written in Rust, which it calls Crafting Apps. They cover image editing (PhotoCraft), vector illustration (VectorCraft), video editing (FilmCraft), photo library and raw development, PDFs, motion graphics, 2D animation, page layout, interface design, 3D texture painting, procedural materials, audio, word processing, presentations, CAD and spreadsheets. The apps are designed with layouts and shortcuts familiar from established professional software.
The apps run locally on the user's own files for macOS, Windows and Linux, without Electron or web views. Many also compile to WebAssembly and run in a browser tab. Each app can be driven from a CLI, a JSON control channel or an MCP server, aimed at automation and AI agents. An ArtCraft Launcher installs and updates all apps. A YouTube creator described the suite as a free clone of the Adobe suite built by pointing AI at existing software and iterating.
Separately, ArtCraft Studio is a generative image and video app that renders scenes with third-party models (such as Nano Banana, GPT-Image-1.5, Seedance 2.0 and Kling 3.0). The apps are free to use. Optional subscriptions (Basic, Pro, Max, Enterprise) provide credits for hosted generations, and users can bring their own compute and third-party subscriptions.
