Lets you stage a scene in 2D or 3D, then render it as an AI image or video

The problem it solves

You asked an image model for the same character in a second shot, and it changed the face, the room and the camera angle.

For ArtistsDesignersFilmmakers

Before
You rewrite the prompt again and again, hoping the next render keeps the layout you have in mind.
After
You place characters, props and the camera yourself in 2D or 3D, then render that layout as an image or a short video.

Overview

ArtCraft is an open-source desktop and web app for making AI images and video with more control than a text prompt. You lay out a scene on a 2D canvas or in 3D, pose characters and set the camera, then render it with image and video models such as Nano Banana, GPT Image, Seedance or Kling. It can also remove backgrounds, turn an image into a 3D object and animate a still image. It suits artists, designers and filmmakers who want repeatable shots.

You compose the shot yourself, with poses, props and camera angles, so the render follows your layout instead of a guess from text.

Try these first

Start with the first one: it is a small task you can check easily.

  1. A red bicycle leaning against a brick wall at sunset, photo style. Then remove the background from the result.First try · uses credits

  2. Pose a mannequin sitting at a desk, set the camera low and to the left, then render it as [describe your character].uses credits

  3. Turn this product photo into a 3D object I can rotate and place in the scene: [upload image]uses credits

  4. Animate this image into a short clip with a slow push-in: [upload image]uses video credits

Good to know

You want the same character, room and camera angle across several AI shots. ArtCraft lets you block the scene in 2D or 3D first, then render that layout with the image or video model you choose.

Limits

  • Renders run on cloud models and use ArtCraft credits or a connected third-party subscription. Some models in the catalog are disabled or not available in the desktop app.
  • Ready-made installers cover Windows and macOS, and a web version runs in the browser; Linux needs a build from source.
