ArtCraft

Open-source studio for AI images and video, with 2D and 3D scene staging before you generate.

Our verdict

Good for artists and filmmakers who want more control over AI images and video than a plain prompt box gives, and who like to read or modify the source. Skip it if you want a finished, fully stable editor or a ready-made Linux build.

What it does well

Source code is public on GitHub under MIT or Apache-2.0, your choice
Stage scenes with 2D layers and 3D elements before generating
Free to start with no subscription; paid credits are optional

Where it falls short

No prebuilt Linux download; Linux means building from source
Hosted generation uses paid credits; free use needs your own compute or subscriptions
Some features and models are listed as coming, disabled or restricted

ArtCraft describes itself as an IDE for interactive AI image and video creation. You compose in 2D, stage scenes in 3D with posed characters and camera blocking, and then pick a model to generate the result.

The README lists text-to-image, prompted image editing with masks and inpainting, image-to-3D mesh, character posing, and image-to-video. It lists a catalog of 62 models (images, video, music and sound, 3D meshes, worlds), though some are marked disabled or restricted, and some are not available in the desktop app.

Desktop apps exist for Windows and macOS, and there is a browser version. The website says it is free to start with no subscription required; optional paid plans give monthly credits for hosted generation, and one-time credit packs are also offered.
