## Guides

- [PhotoCraft: Features, PSD Support & Official Download](https://artcrafttools.com/photocraft/index.md): PhotoCraft is ArtCraft’s open-source image editor for layers, masks and Photoshop documents. Start with the official download, then check it against your own files before changing your workflow.

- [LightCraft: RAW Editing & Official Download Guide](https://artcrafttools.com/lightcraft/index.md): LightCraft is ArtCraft’s photo-library and RAW-development app. Its official project describes non-destructive editing and local photo organization.
- [ArtCraft Download Guide: PhotoCraft, VectorCraft & More](https://artcrafttools.com/artcraft-download/index.md): ArtCraft’s AI studio and its Crafting Apps are different products. Choose the app for your task, then use its official download page instead of an unverified mirror.
- [ArtCraft Alternatives for Images, SVG & RAW Photos](https://artcrafttools.com/artcraft-alternatives/index.md): Choose an alternative for a specific task: layered editing, vector work or RAW photography. This is an editorial comparison of documented capabilities, not a hands-on ranking.
- [SVG Editor Guide: VectorCraft & SVG Markup Tools](https://artcrafttools.com/tools/svg-editor/index.md): Choose VectorCraft for visual illustration or SVG Viewer for inspecting and editing SVG markup. The editor opens on the provider’s site.
- [PSD Viewer Guide: Open Photoshop Files in a Browser](https://artcrafttools.com/tools/psd-viewer/index.md): Photopea documents PSD opening and saving in a browser. PhotoCraft provides a separate desktop option. This page directs you to those tools; it does not receive your files.
- [Image Converter Guide: PNG, JPEG & WebP with Squoosh](https://artcrafttools.com/tools/image-converter/index.md): Use Squoosh to investigate browser-based image conversion and compression. Choose the output for your task, then inspect the downloaded result.
- [Background Remover Guide: Automatic Cutouts & Masks](https://artcrafttools.com/tools/background-remover/index.md): Use a dedicated service for an automatic cutout, or a layer mask when you need an editable edge. External services have their own upload and download conditions.
- [PhotoCraft vs Photopea: Desktop Editing or Browser PSD?](https://artcrafttools.com/blog/photocraft-vs-photopea/index.md): Start with the decision you need to make: a desktop image editor to explore, or a browser workflow for a PSD. The two products are independent and serve overlapping tasks.
- [PhotoCraft vs LightCraft: Layers or RAW Development?](https://artcrafttools.com/blog/photocraft-vs-lightcraft/index.md): Choose PhotoCraft for layered image editing and investigate LightCraft for a RAW photo library. They belong to the same family but solve different starting problems.
- [SVG vs PNG: Choose Vectors, Pixels or Transparency](https://artcrafttools.com/blog/svg-vs-png/index.md): SVG is useful for scalable vector artwork; PNG is useful for lossless pixel images with optional transparency. The right choice depends on what the destination needs.
- [Creative Tool Directory: SVG, PSD, Images & Cutouts](https://artcrafttools.com/tools/index.md): A short path from your file to the right application. Read the guide, check the destination, then open the tool on its own website.
- [Creative Workflow Guides | ArtCraft Tools](https://artcrafttools.com/blog/index.md): Practical notes about applications and file formats. Start with a task, not a feature list.
