PhotoCraft Hub
PhotoCraft Hub is an open-source desktop image editor written in Rust that opens and saves layered PSD files.
ArtCraft PhotoCraft is a desktop image editor published by ArtCraft as an open-source alternative to Adobe Photoshop. It is built from scratch in Rust and draws its canvas on the GPU using Metal, Vulkan, DirectX 12, or WebGPU for fast performance. The application opens, edits, and saves layered PSD and PSB documents, preserving adjustment layers, layer styles, and shortcuts. Users can perform non-destructive editing with filters and on-device selection tools without creating an account. The source code is available on GitHub under the Apache-2.0 and MIT licenses.
