PhotoCraft: a serious editor, not a demo
PhotoCraft's engine, tools, and file formats are all built from public specifications.
Familiar by design
Menus, shortcuts, and panels sit right where you expect them, from ⌘J to ⇧⌘D.
Native and fast
Powered by a GPU compositor on wgpu (Metal, Vulkan, DX12, WebGPU), copy-on-write tiles, and multithreaded filters. No Electron, no web view.
Real PSD files
Open, edit, and save layered Photoshop documents. Re-saving preserves visual fidelity across 307 of 309 psd-tools test files.
Edit non-destructively
16 adjustment layers, including Curves with per-channel editing and Levels with a live histogram—all fully maskable and reorderable.
Smart selection tools
Marquee, Lasso, Magic Wand, Quick Selection, Object Selection, and Select Subject—all executed locally on your machine with no cloud dependencies.
Type, vectors, and brushes
On-canvas typography, pen and shape layers with gradient fills, and a custom brush engine driven by pressure, tilt, and rotation.
