ArtCraft

Overview

ArtCraft is a desktop app (free, BYOK) and an online platform (paid) for AI image and video creation. It moves away from simple text prompts and gives more hands on control. It focuses on composition pose scene layout and repeatable results... so it feels more like a workspace than a prompt box.

The project sits under the storytold artcraft GitHub repo. Public info links it to a small Atlanta based company called Artcraft AI. Profiles also connect it to Brandon Thomas who says he founded ArtCraft Storyteller.ai and FakeYou. This points to a team that has worked on AI creative tools before, not a random new project.

ArtCraft puts a lot of focus on control and consistency. The GitHub page lists tools for scene setup from images 3D image layering image to 3D mesh conversion character posing scene layout identity transfer and background removal. It also supports common tasks like text to image image editing masking edits and image to video.

Another key part is how it stays open and flexible. It is open source and works with many outside model providers. These include Nano Banana GPT Image Seedance Seedream Flux Veo Kling Sora Grok Midjourney and WorldLabs. So it acts more like a creative layer on top of many AI tools rather than one single system.

Main features include.
Text to image. Lets you create images from prompts.
Image editing. You can change and adjust images.
Image to video. Turns still images into moving clips.
Mask editing. Lets you edit parts of an image.
Background removal. Cuts out subjects from images.

Scene layout. Helps place objects and plan shots.
Camera control. Lets you shape how a scene looks.
Character tools. Supports posing and keeping identity consistent.

It fits creators who need more control, not just random outputs. That includes short film planning marketing visuals 2D to 3D scene building and image to video animation. It also works for personal character setups where you want the same look across images and clips.
