Open by default
The source is public, auditable, and open to improvement. The community can understand how its creative tools work.
Free creative software
Create freely, without asking permission.
OpenCreate makes fast, respectful tools for designers and artists who want professional work without subscriptions, or surveillance.
Our promise
The tools are yours. The work is yours. The future is yours.
We are building an open alternative for people who make things for a living, for learning, and simply because they can.
Fast where it matters
Your attention belongs on the canvas. We focus on responsive interactions so the tool disappears behind the work.
Private and local
Your files stay under your control. No account, subscription, or invasive telemetry is required to create.
Start creating
A calmer home for serious creative work.
OpenCreate Forge is our first step: a powerful image editor for people who want familiar creative workflows with more freedom.
Featured tool
Edit images with layers, typography, precision tools, and a responsive canvas. Save in an open, native format and keep ownership of the work you make.
More tools are on the way.
We are keeping the catalog focused so every tool can feel thoughtful, capable, and ready for real creative work.
Help make creative freedom the default.
