ArtCraft is the IDE for interactive AI image and video creation. Compose in 2D, stage scenes in 3D, and choose the models that fit your work. Turn prompting into crafting with visual tools for precise, repeatable results.

Artists need control over composition, character identity, and camera placement. Build the scene before you generate it. Click any preview to view it at full size.

Feature Preview
Image to Location Place virtual actors in a consistent environment and plan multiple shots in the same room.
3D Image Compositing Layer backdrops, foregrounds, and props in 3D to build compositions with depth.
2D Image Compositing Compose a scene with image layers, background removal, and drawing tools.
Image to 3D Mesh Turn an image into a 3D object you can position, rotate, and frame precisely.
Character Posing Pose characters and set your camera before generating the final shot.
Scene Blocking with Kitbashing Combine 3D asset kits to control camera angles, object placement, and depth.
Character Identity Transfer Use a posed mannequin to guide the placement and pose of your character.
Background Removal Isolate subjects to use as props, layers, or backdrops in 2D and 3D scenes.
Mixed Asset Crafting Combine image cutouts, worlds, and 3D meshes in one scene.

More previews are coming for scene blocking, canvas editing, and scene relighting.

Start with a prompt when you want to explore an idea quickly, then use the canvas and scene tools to refine it.

Feature Preview
Text to Image Explore ideas across a wide range of image models with a text prompt.
Prompted Image Editing Describe changes to an image with models such as Nano Banana Pro and GPT Image.
Canvas Image Editing Use drawing, masks, and inpainting to guide exactly where an image changes.
Image to Video Animate an image with your choice of video models and generation controls.

More previews are coming for image inpainting and image ingredients.
