GOOD TO KNOW

A few things before you begin.

Straightforward answers for a smoother first edit.

Is PhotoCraft Free really free?

Yes. You can use the hosted editor without an account or subscription. It is based on the open-source PhotoCraft project.

Are my images uploaded?

The editor reads and processes documents on your device. Saving and exporting download files to your computer; there is no server document library.

Can I open PSD files?

PhotoCraft supports layered PSD files. Advanced effects, fonts and features may differ, so keep the original and check imported documents and exported copies.

Does it automatically save my work?

No. This hosted release has no browser autosave or crash recovery. Download an editable copy or export before closing or refreshing the page.

What browser should I use?

Use a current desktop browser with WebGPU or WebGL2. Desktop screens are the best fit for the editing workspace. Large documents can consume significant memory.

Why is the editor taking a while to open?

The browser downloads the editing program on the first visit. After it loads, editing runs locally. A slow connection or device may take longer.

Is this the official PhotoCraft website?

No. PhotoCraft Free is an independent host. The editor is developed by the ArtCraft team and PhotoCraft contributors, linked on our About page.

Is this Photoshop?

No. PhotoCraft is an independent open-source editor. This website is not affiliated with Adobe, and compatibility does not mean every Photoshop feature is reproduced.

Editor not loading?

Try reloading once, then update your browser. If the graphics driver is struggling, try the WebGL mode. The CPU canvas mode is slower but can help with rendering problems. A browser still needs WebGPU or WebGL2 support to start the app.

Save your current work before changing modes or refreshing the editor.
