PhotoCraft updates: what’s new in the browser editor
Check the PhotoCraft version running here, recent release highlights, browser checks and guides for trying it yourself.
Open editorUse PhotoCraft checks official stable releases every six hours. A newer release goes live after build and browser-startup checks pass. The version above is the one included in this website deployment.
PhotoCraft 0.9.0
Release highlights
- Upstream reports fixes for preserving Background layers when saving and reopening PSDs, and for an Export As freeze with large layered PSDs.
- Interface preferences now group settings under Appearance, Presentation and Options. Find Language in Presentation.
These highlights come from the upstream release notes; they are not a complete browser compatibility test. Read the official release notes
What we checked in the browser
In desktop Chrome 155 with WebGL compatibility mode and software rendering, we opened the 640 × 400 practice PSD, hid Coral, restored it with Undo and exported PNG. All 256,000 pixels matched the source. A Save As PSD reopened with three layers. We also checked French menu selection and persistence, and missing Chinese menu glyphs.
Large PSDs, smart objects, text fidelity, other browsers and desktop installation were not tested. CJK menu glyphs are still missing. Download your work before leaving: the browser build has no document autosave or crash recovery.
PhotoCraft 0.8.2
Release highlights
- Revised panel docking and workspaces.
- PSD decoding and interoperability fixes.
- Fixes for layer selection and undo history.
These highlights come from the upstream release notes; they are not a complete browser compatibility test. Read the official release notes
What we checked in the browser
In desktop Chrome, we opened the 640 × 400 practice PSD, hid its Coral layer, restored it with Undo and exported PNG. The guides link the same three-layer file so you can repeat the check.
This checks a small raster document, not every PSD feature or browser. The browser build still needs manual downloads to preserve work. Our language guide explains the separate website and editor settings and the remaining CJK font limitation.

How to use an updated editor
Download your work before refreshing or closing an existing editing tab. Then reopen the editor to load the deployed version. An update does not back up an open document; keep your original files and check a copy after upgrading.
