history
Project history and usage
PhotoCraft is a free, open-source, offline-capable image editor built natively in Rust.
Project history
PhotoCraft was introduced by the ArtCraft team as one of a family of free, open-source creative applications. It aims to provide a familiar professional image-editing workflow with layers, masks, adjustment layers, filters, vectors, brushes, and color-management features.
The project is dual-licensed under MIT or Apache-2.0 and measures progress toward broader Photoshop-compatible workflows through a public roadmap and parity tooling.
Adoption history
PhotoCraft provides native builds for macOS, Windows, and Linux, plus a WebAssembly build. The project remains early-stage and asks users to report rough edges through its issue tracker and community channels.
How it is used
Users can edit raster artwork with layered, non-destructive workflows and open or save layered PSD and PSB documents. Developers can build the desktop application from source with the Rust toolchain.
Why package nerds care
PhotoCraft is notable as a native, cross-platform image editor written from scratch in Rust rather than packaged as an Electron application. Its focus on layered PSD/PSB workflows, local processing, and reproducible parity tracking makes it relevant to open-source graphics-tool users.
