ArtCraft Download for iOS — What Actually Runs on iPhone & iPad

Q: Does the browser version cost anything?

No. Craft apps are free and open source (Apache-2.0) with no account needed; the AI studio web app requires a free account.

Q: Why isn't ArtCraft on the App Store?

The suite is a young, desktop-focused open-source project; no iOS version is offered today.

Straight answer first: there is no ArtCraft iOS app. Nothing in the ArtCraft organization ships as a native iPhone or iPad application today. What you can use on iOS is the browser: six of the seven craft apps compile to WebAssembly and run in a mobile browser, and the AI studio has a hosted web app. Here is what that means in practice, and what to do instead if you need the full desktop experience.

Your Two Real Options on iPhone / iPad

Browser builds

Craft apps (all except FilmCraft) PhotoCraft, VectorCraft, LightCraft, PdfCraft, EffectCraft and DesignCraft compile to WebAssembly and run in the browser — open the apps page on getartcraft.com in Safari and pick one. No install, no account. Open the official apps page →

AI studio web app

AI image & video generation The AI studio runs as a hosted web app at app.getartcraft.com — sign in with a free account and you don't need to install anything. Heavy generation work is still desktop territory. Open the web app →

FilmCraft (the video editor) has no web version at all — on iOS there is currently no way to run it; it ships for Windows, macOS and Linux only.

An Honest Note on Mobile Editing

The ArtCraft apps are built as native desktop applications — the whole suite is written in Rust for Windows, macOS and Linux, and the browser builds exist so you can try and use the tools without installing. They were not designed as touch-first mobile apps, so for real work — layered photo editing, PDF assembly, video cuts — a desktop is the intended surface. Treat the mobile browser route as a way to view, tweak and try, not as a replacement for the desktop apps.

What to Do Instead: Get the Desktop Version

If you came here looking for "ArtCraft download iOS", the useful move is to install the desktop apps on the machine you actually work on. Every app is free and the craft apps need no account:

On a Windows PC — exact packages and steps on our ArtCraft download for PC page.
On a Mac — installers ship in each app's GitHub releases (universal DMG for the AI studio).
On Linux — AppImage, deb, rpm, Flatpak and tarball builds are published per app.

The full line-up, with status badges and download links, is on the ArtCraft download homepage.

What About Android?

Same answer, same reasoning: no Android app exists either. The suite is desktop-native (Windows, macOS, Linux) with browser builds as the portable option — and Chrome on Android can open the same WebAssembly builds and the AI studio web app that Safari can on iOS. The practical guidance is identical: use mobile browsers to view and try, do real work on desktop, and watch getartcraft.com for any official mobile announcements.
