PhotoCraft: open-source Rust photo editor built with AI
PhotoCraft is a native GPU-accelerated photo editor written in Rust for Windows, macOS, Linux, FreeBSD and the web, built with Opus 5.5 and vibe coding. It mirrors Photoshop's interface, supports layers, masks and layered PSD/PSB files, and exposes 500+ commands via an MCP server for AI agents, but its own roadmap rates it only 45% ready with over 950 open issues.
- PhotoCraft targets Metal, Vulkan, DirectX 12 and WebGPU without Electron
- Supports 8/16/32-bit documents, RGB, CMYK, Lab and layered PSD/PSB
- 500+ commands exposed via CLI, JSON channel and MCP server
