| Install EffectCraft | Download EffectCraft for Windows 11, macOS or Linux, install it, or install it through ArtCraft Launcher. | 10 | 0.8.0 |
The easiest way is the EffectCraft page on getartcraft.com. For a specific file, use the latest release on GitHub. In the file names, <version> stands for the version number, for example 0.8.0.
Windows 11
- Open the latest release.
- Download
effectcraft-<version>-windows-x64.msi. It fits most PCs (Intel and AMD, 64-bit). - Run the file and follow the installer. It asks where to install EffectCraft and offers a Create a desktop shortcut box.
- Start EffectCraft from the Start menu.
The release also has an arm64 installer for Snapdragon and other ARM PCs, and an x86 installer for 32-bit Windows. The installers are code-signed and install for all users. Later versions install into the same folder.
To run it without installing, download effectcraft-<version>-windows-x64-portable.zip instead. It contains effectcraft.exe and the command-line tool effectcraft-cli.exe. The arm64 and x86 builds have portable zips too.
macOS
- Download
effectcraft-<version>-macos-universal.dmg. It works on Apple silicon and Intel Macs and is signed and notarized. - Open it and drag EffectCraft to Applications.
Linux
Pick one file from the release. Replace x86_64 with aarch64 on ARM.
| File | How to use it |
|---|---|
effectcraft-<version>-linux-x86_64.AppImage |
Run chmod +x on the file, then run it. |
effectcraft-<version>-linux-x86_64.deb |
For Debian and Ubuntu. |
effectcraft-<version>-linux-x86_64.rpm |

effectcraft-<version>-linux-x86_64.flatpak |
flatpak install --user <file> |
effectcraft-<version>-linux-x86_64.tar.gz |

There is also a RISC-V 64-bit .tar.gz (it needs glibc 2.39 or newer) and a FreeBSD x86_64 .tar.gz.
