## 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.

### Timeline

- 2026: Early-alpha releases became available for macOS, Windows, Linux, and the web.

### Related projects

- PhotoCraft is part of ArtCraft’s Crafting Apps family alongside VectorCraft, FilmCraft, LightCraft, PdfCraft, EffectCraft, and DesignCraft.
