The IDE for artists.

ArtCraft

ArtCraft is the IDE for interactive AI image and video creation. We turn prompting into crafting, so your ideas become a form of tangible expression and computing. This is Adobe Photoshop for everyone, and we're giving away the source code!

Show, Don't Tell: Advanced Crafting Features

Text-to-image is great, but artists need control. It's important to know what your image will look like before you generate it, and it's vitally important to achieve consistency and repeatability.

Feature	Demo + Explanation
Image to Location	Placing virtual actors into physical environments establishes single-location consistency. You can film multiple shots within a room without having things disappear.
3D Image Compositing	Use images (backdrops, foreground elements, props, etc.) in scenes with depth and blend them naturally together. Just a couple of images usually leads to great compositions.
2D Image Compositing	Use images, background removal, layers, and simple drawing tools to precisely compose a scene.
Image to 3D Mesh	It's almost impossible to lay out complicated objects or block complicated scenes; turning images into 3D helps position elements exactingly and intentionally.
Character Posing	You can dynamically pose your characters to achieve the precise character, scene, and camera blocking before calling "action".
Scene Blocking w/ Kit Bashing	Use 3D asset kits to precisely block out your scene: get the correct angles, object positions, and rich depth layering you can't with text prompting.
Character Identity Transfer	Use mannequins as simple 3D ControlNets for posing any character.
Background Removal	Remove backgrounds from images to make them useful in 2D or 3D compositing. They can be props, layers, or backdrops.
Mixed Asset Crafting	You can use image cutouts, worlds, and simple 3D meshes all together to precisely and intentionally lay out your scenes.
Scene Blocking	(preview coming soon)
Canvas Editing	(preview coming soon)
Scene Relighting	(preview coming soon)

Note: all of the above videos were generated for free with Grok Video; the cost to build this README was negligible.

Quick and Easy Prompting

We haven't abandoned text-to-asset generation for quick prototyping and ideation. We support every popular workflow in a first class fashion.

Feature	Demo + Explanation
Text to Image	Text prompt over a dozen different image models.
Image Editing	Edit with Nano Banana Pro and GPT Image 1.5.
Image Editing	Use inpainting, drawing, masking, etc. to edit images.
Image to Video	Image to video with lots of different options and controls.
Image Inpainting	(preview coming soon)
Image Ingredients	(preview coming soon)

Models and Providers Supported within Artcraft

Provider	Features
Artcraft	Nano Banana, Nano Banana Pro, GPT-Image-1 / 1.5, Seedance 1.0 Lite / 1.5 Pro / 2.0, Seedream 4 / 4.5, Flux 1.1 / Kontext, Veo 2 / 3 / 3.1, Kling 1.6 / 2.1 / 2.5 / 2.6, Sora 2 / Pro, Hunyuan 3d 2 / 3
Grok	Grok Imagine, Grok Video
Midjourney	Image Gen (all versions)
Sora	Sora 1, Sora 2, GPT-Image-1
WorldLabs	Marble (Gaussian Splat World Generation)

We're going to be adding the following providers soon: Kling (via Kling website accounts), Google (via API keys), Runway (via website account), Luma (via website account).

We're potentially interested in adding other aggregators for those who already have subscriptions and credits at those providers, for example: OpenArt, FreePik, etc.
