ArtCraft: the free film studio for AI video that most people have never heard of
An open-source desktop app for staging and generating AI images and video. The app costs nothing. You connect the AI services you already use and pay them directly.
Most AI video tools work the same way: type a prompt, wait, and hope. ArtCraft is built around a different idea. You stage the shot first, placing subjects and composing the frame, and then generate from that setup, so the result is closer to what you had in mind.
The app itself is free and its code is public. What it does not include is the AI doing the generating. ArtCraft connects to outside image and video services using your own accounts, and you pay those services at their rates. That is why our openness label marks its models as paid and its real cost as free app, usage fees.
It is a good fit if you already pay for one or two generation services and want one workspace to direct them from. If you want everything running on your own graphics card with no outside services, look at ComfyUI with an open video model such as Wan 2.1 instead.
