Download PhotoCraft for Free

PhotoCraft for Windows

Open Settings → System → About → System type. Choose x64 for a 64-bit Intel/AMD PC, ARM64 for an ARM-based PC such as Snapdragon, or x86 for 32-bit Windows. The default below is x64; it does not detect your processor.

Install the MSI

1. Save the MSI that matches your system, then double-click it in your Downloads folder.
2. Follow the setup wizard through the install folder and Install screens. Approve the Windows prompt if you intend to install this package.

Success check: the PhotoCraft window opens. Choose File → Open, select a sample image and confirm it appears on the canvas.

Run the Portable ZIP without installing

1. Choose the matching file with “windows” and “portable” in its name. “Source code (zip)” is source code, not the Windows application.
2. In Downloads, right-click the ZIP → Extract All. Choose a writable folder and extract the entire archive.
3. Open the extracted folder and double-click photocraft.exe. Keep portable.txt and the other files beside it; do not run the app inside the ZIP.

If macOS reports an unverified developer, check the release source and publisher first. For that specific message, System Settings → Privacy & Security may show Open Anyway. If the message says the app is damaged or contains malware, stop and consult the upstream project instead of bypassing the warning.

PhotoCraft for Linux

Open a terminal and run uname -m. x86_64 means 64-bit Intel/AMD; aarch64 means ARM64. Choose AppImage for a standalone file, DEB for Debian/Ubuntu, RPM for Fedora/RHEL/openSUSE, or a Flatpak bundle if you use Flatpak.

The examples below use the checked v0.6.0 files. In your file manager, open the folder containing the downloaded file and choose Open in Terminal. Run only the commands for your chosen format; if a command fails, stop and read the error before continuing.
