About ArtCraft
ArtCraft Studio is a generative image and video app that puts more weight on composing a shot than on writing prompts. You lay out a scene on a 2D canvas or in a 3D editor, using image cutouts, backgrounds, props, posed characters and meshes generated from images, and then render it with hosted models such as Nano Banana, GPT-Image, Seedance or Kling. It also does inpainting, background removal, image-to-video and text-to-image. The studio is open source and runs as a desktop app on macOS and Windows or in the browser. You can use it without a subscription by bringing your own compute or third-party subscriptions; the paid plans sell monthly credits for the hosted models, with one-time credit packs too. The same team also makes a set of free, open-source desktop apps for photo editing, vector art, video and more, installed through the ArtCraft Launcher. It suits artists who want control over layout and consistency across shots.
Best for: Artists who want to block out scenes in 2D or 3D before generating images and video.
