About DesignCraft

DesignCraft is an open-source page-layout and publishing application for designers, publishers, and other users creating multi-page documents. It provides spreads and parent pages, text and graphic frames, threaded stories, columns, paragraph and character styles, color swatches, and text wrapping for arranging editorial and print-oriented layouts. Typography tools include paragraph composition, hyphenation, optical margin alignment, and baseline grids. Users can work with a documented native file format, import and export IDML, and export PNG images. The application is available as a native desktop program for Windows, macOS, and Linux, with a WebAssembly build for browser use. Command-line workflows, a JSON control channel, and an MCP server support scripted or agent-driven document operations. DesignCraft is free and open source under MIT or Apache-2.0 licensing. The product is in development.
