ArtCraft · the IDE for artists

Build the scene before you generate it.

ArtCraft is the IDE for interactive AI image and video creation. Compose in 2D, stage scenes in 3D, and choose the models that fit your work — visual tools for precise, repeatable results.

Start with a prompt to explore an idea quickly, then use the canvas and scene tools to refine it.

Beyond the catalog, ArtCraft also works with Grok, Midjourney, Sora and World Labs. The README marks some catalog models as disabled or restricted.
