DesignCraft

DesignCraft — A fast, native, and open-source page layout and publishing program.

Developed entirely in Rust by the ArtCraft team, DesignCraft is an open-source page layout and publishing application that offers a modern, fast, and high-performance alternative to cumbersome, subscription-based, and licensing server-required desktop publishing programs like Adobe InDesign.
Key Features and Advantages

    Professional Layout Tools: All the layout tools you'd expect, including page spreads and parent pages, frames and threaded stories, paragraph and character styles, color palettes (swatches), and text wrap.

    Flawless Typography: Thanks to the Knuth-Plass paragraph editor, dictionary-based hyphenation, optical edge alignment, and baseline grids, what you see on screen is exactly what you get in the PDF output.

    Print-Ready PDF Outputs: Embedded fonts, CMYK and spot colors, bleed, crop marks, and archival-quality PDF/A outputs with selectable real text support.

    High Performance: Multithreaded SIMD visualization, documents with instant undo capabilities, and a cached composition engine.

    Open Formats and Integration: Documented native format structure, PNG export, and layout interchange import/export support for switching between tools. 

Who is it suitable for?

    This product is for all graphic designers, publishers, and independent content creators who produce publications such as magazines, brochures, catalogs, newspapers, and booklets, and who don't want to be dependent on expensive, subscription-based layout software.
