Learn ArtCraft one craft at a time.

ArtCraft is two products under one name: an AI image-and-video studio, and 13 free, open-source desktop apps rebuilt in Rust. This guide shows what each one does, which file to download, and what's still alpha — with screenshots we took ourselves.

03 — Name check

One name,
two products.

Most confusion comes from mixing these up. Only the studio uses AI credits; the thirteen apps run offline.

07 — Quick answers

Asked a lot this week.

Q1Is ArtCraft free?
The 13 Crafting Apps are free and open source. The AI studio is free to download; hosted-model generations use credits, with an optional Basic plan at $8/month when billed yearly ($96/year) on the official site's pricing page (checked Oct 14, 2026).
Q2Is ArtCraft safe to download?
Download only from getartcraft.com or the storytold GitHub releases and compare the SHA-256 with the published list. We checked 14 ArtCraft downloads this way on Oct 14, 2026 — all matched. Our install guide shows how.
Q3Does PhotoCraft open PSD files?
The official site says yes — layered PSD and PSB, with 134 of 135 test files round-tripping byte for byte. We have not run that test ourselves.
Q4Is this site run by ArtCraft?
No. ArtCraft Tutorial is independent. We link to official downloads and never host installers.
