Questions
Is there a free open-source alternative to Photoshop?
Yes. GIMP and Krita are mature free options, and ArtCraft's PhotoCraft is a new open-source, Photoshop-shaped editor that opens and saves PSD and PSB. PhotoCraft is early alpha, so keep a mature tool for deadlines.
What is the ArtCraft equivalent of Premiere Pro?
FilmCraft, a Rust-built video editor with a Premiere-style timeline. The maintainers estimate about 56% readiness for real work; Kdenlive, Shotcut and DaVinci Resolve (free tier) are the established alternatives.
Are the ArtCraft apps really free?
Yes. The repositories are dual-licensed MIT or Apache-2.0 and the apps are free to download. The ArtCraft name and logos are trademarks excluded from those licenses.
Which ArtCraft app replaces Microsoft Office?
WordCraft (Word), GridCraft (Excel) and DeckCraft (PowerPoint). They are part of the wider Craft App Suite and are all alpha-stage.
