  1. 1

    Download the installer

    Most PCs need the x64 MSI installer: photocraft-0.7.0-windows-x64.msi. Pick arm64 for Snapdragon and other ARM PCs, or x86 for old 32-bit systems. Prefer not to install? Take the portable ZIP instead.

    Run the installer

    Double-click the MSI and follow the prompts. If SmartScreen says “Windows protected your PC” and the file came from the official GitHub release, choose More info → Run anyway.

Portable version (no install)

Download photocraft-0.7.0-windows-x64-portable.zip, unzip it anywhere (a USB stick works) and run PhotoCraft from that folder.

Troubleshooting

Black window or a crash at start

PhotoCraft draws the canvas on the GPU. Update your graphics driver first. If it still fails, search GitHub Issues and file one with your Windows version, graphics card and a screenshot.

x64 or arm64?

Open Settings › System › About and look at “System type”: “x64-based processor” means x64, “ARM-based processor” means arm64.

Uninstall

Open Settings › Apps › Installed apps, find PhotoCraft and choose Uninstall. For the portable version, delete its folder.
