View guide →PhotoCraft is an open-source image project by storytold (storytold/photocraft on GitHub). It has 73,169 GitHub stars and 12,952 forks, is released under the MIT / Apache-2.0 license, and was last updated on GitHub on 26 October 2026.
PhotoCraft — a clean-room Photoshop reimplementation in pure Rust: layers, masks, adjustment layers, type, vectors, brushes and real PSD files, offline, MIT / Apache-2.0
New users should download from the PhotoCraft page on getartcraft.com; every platform build is also attached to each GitHub release with SHA256 checksums.
Windows gets a signed MSI or portable zip, macOS a signed and notarized universal DMG, Linux an AppImage, .deb, .rpm, tarball or Flatpak, FreeBSD a tarball.
Open a PSD or image, work with layers, masks and adjustment layers, and save back to real PSD files.
Layers, masks, adjustment layers, layer styles, type, vectors and brushes — the toolset Photoshop users expect, rebuilt from scratch.
Reads and writes genuine PSD files, so work moves between PhotoCraft and other editors without a proprietary lock-in.
A wgpu GPU compositor with copy-on-write tiles and multithreaded filters; the menus and shortcuts are where Photoshop users expect them.
A native app that keeps your files on your machine — no account, no cloud round-trip to edit a photo.
The README route for new users: the PhotoCraft page on getartcraft.com.

https://github.com/storytold/photocraft/releasesInstall the Flatpak bundle, then run it by its app ID.
flatpak install --user photocraft-<version>-linux-x86_64.flatpak
flatpak run ai.storyteller.photocraftThe storytold organisation on GitHub (the ArtCraft project); the editor is written entirely in Rust.
Yes — dual-licensed MIT / Apache-2.0, so you can use it for any purpose under either licence.
No — the project badges itself early alpha. It is actively developed (pushed 2026-10-26) and already usable, but expect rough edges; the README lists current limits such as Wayland drag-and-drop.
That is its stated goal — a clean-room reimplementation with the same menus, shortcuts and PSD support — but as an alpha it is best tried alongside Photoshop first, not as a blind switch.
Download the build for your platform from getartcraft.com or the GitHub releases, open a PSD or image, and edit with layers and adjustment layers.
