ArtCraft

What is ArtCraft?

ArtCraft is a browser studio that mixes classic image editing with generative AI and lightweight 3D work. It runs as an open-source project, so the editing engine can be inspected and self-hosted, while the hosted version adds paid model access. You can composite layers, cut out a subject, block a scene in 3D, animate a character, and hand the result to a video generator without leaving the same canvas.

How do you use ArtCraft?

1. Sign in with a Google account and open a new project. The studio opens with a canvas, a layer panel, and a tool rail.
2. Import an image, or generate one from a text prompt. Generated images land as normal layers you can edit.
3. Remove a background, refine the edge with the mask brush, then place the cutout on a new background.
4. Add text, shapes, and reference images, then arrange them on the timeline if you want motion.
5. For a 3D blockout, drop primitives onto the canvas, move or rotate them, and use kitbashing to combine parts into a scene.
6. Send a finished frame to image-to-video, or generate a 3D mesh from a single image when you need an asset rather than a picture.

What are the key features of ArtCraft?

• Layer-based 2D compositing with masking, background removal, and canvas drawing.
• Text-to-image generation and prompted image editing inside the same canvas.
• Image-to-video generation for animating a still frame into a short clip.
• Image-to-location, which places a subject inside a generated 3D environment.
• 3D compositing with primitive blocking, kitbashing, and character posing.
• Identity transfer for keeping a face consistent across generated frames.
• A video timeline for sequencing clips, plus moodboards for collecting direction.

Who is ArtCraft for?

ArtCraft suits designers who want generative tools without leaving an editable canvas, illustrators building moodboards and character sheets, and small studios that need quick 3D blocking before a render.

How much does ArtCraft cost?

Local editing and project management are free. AI operations draw on a credit balance. The Lite plan is about US$14.92 per month when billed yearly at US$179 and includes 600 credits each month. Standard is about US$24.92 per month on a US$299 yearly plan with 1,500 credits. Pro is about US$49.92 per month on a US$599 yearly plan with 3,600 credits. Max is about US$99.92 per month on a US$1,199 yearly plan with 8,000 credits. Monthly billing is also offered at a higher rate.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a GPU to run ArtCraft?

No. The hosted version runs in the browser and sends model work to remote providers. Self-hosting the open-source editor only covers the manual editing tools.
