DesignCraft

Page layout and publishing software written in Rust

Upvote

DesignCraft follows the Adobe InDesign workflow for magazines, brochures and print layouts. It runs natively on macOS, Windows and Linux and in the browser through WebAssembly.

Highlights

  • Spreads and parent pages, frames and threaded stories
  • Its own paragraph composer for justified, multi-column text with wrapping around objects
  • Named swatches, including CMYK process colors
  • Menus, panels and shortcuts that mirror the InDesign layout
  • A built-in sample magazine you can open from the File menu

The project documents its architecture and font handling in the repository for contributors.

Good to know: the ArtCraft name and logos are trademarks of the ArtCraft team and are not covered by the open-source license, so forks must remove them. The code itself is released under Apache-2.0.
