|---|---|---|---|
| Install PhotoCraft | Download PhotoCraft for Windows 10 or 11, macOS or Linux from getartcraft.com or GitHub, or install it with ArtCraft Launcher. | 10 | 0.8.2 |
The easiest way is the PhotoCraft page on getartcraft.com. You can also install it with ArtCraft Launcher, which lists PhotoCraft. For a specific build or file format, take it from the latest release on GitHub. In the file names below, <version> stands for the version number, for example 0.8.2.
Windows
PhotoCraft needs Windows 10 or later. On Windows 7 and 8 the installer stops with "PhotoCraft needs Windows 10 or later."
- Open the latest release.
- Download
photocraft-<version>-windows-x64.msi. It fits most PCs (64-bit Intel and AMD). - Run the file and follow the installer.
To run without installing, download photocraft-<version>-windows-x64-portable.zip instead and unzip it.
| Your PC | Installer | Portable |
|---|---|---|
| 64-bit Intel or AMD | photocraft-<version>-windows-x64.msi |
photocraft-<version>-windows-x64-portable.zip |
| Arm (Snapdragon and other Arm PCs) | photocraft-<version>-windows-arm64.msi |
photocraft-<version>-windows-arm64-portable.zip |
| 32-bit | photocraft-<version>-windows-x86.msi |
photocraft-<version>-windows-x86-portable.zip |
The installers and executables are code-signed.
macOS
- Download
photocraft-<version>-macos-universal.dmg. It works on Apple silicon and Intel Macs, and is signed and notarized by Apple. - Open it and drag PhotoCraft to Applications.
Linux
Pick one file from the release. Use x86_64 for Intel and AMD, or aarch64 for Arm.
| Format | File | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| AppImage | photocraft-<version>-linux-x86_64.AppImage |
Runs anywhere and needs no install. |
| Debian and Ubuntu | photocraft-<version>-linux-x86_64.deb |
|
| Fedora and openSUSE | photocraft-<version>-linux-x86_64.rpm |
|
| Flatpak | photocraft-<version>-linux-x86_64.flatpak |
Run flatpak install --user <file>, then flatpak run ai.storyteller.photocraft. |
| Tarball | photocraft-<version>-linux-x86_64.tar.gz |
Unpack it anywhere. |
The first time you run the AppImage, it adds its icon and menu entry under ~/.local/share. Set PHOTOCRAFT_NO_DESKTOP_INTEGRATION=1 to skip that. For RISC-V, take the riscv64 file: photocraft-<version>-linux-riscv64.tar.gz, .deb or .rpm. The RISC-V tarball needs glibc 2.39 or newer.
On a Wayland session, files dropped on the PhotoCraft window do not open yet. Use File › Open… instead, or copy the image in your file manager and paste it with Ctrl+V. To drag and drop, start PhotoCraft under XWayland with WAYLAND_DISPLAY= photocraft. PhotoCraft shows the right command for your install in a notice until you dismiss it.
FreeBSD and the web
FreeBSD 14 (x86_64) has a tarball, photocraft-<version>-freebsd-x86_64.tar.gz, laid out like /usr/local. The web version comes as photocraft-web-<version>.zip, a static site you host on any web server. It runs in a modern browser.
