How to check your download
Each release includes SHA256SUMS.txt, which lists a checksum for every file. After downloading, compute the checksum and compare it with the line for your file name.
# Windows (PowerShell)
Get-FileHash .\photocraft-0.8.2-windows-x64.msi -Algorithm SHA256
# macOS
shasum -a 256 photocraft-0.8.2-macos-universal.dmg
# Linux
sha256sum photocraft-0.8.2-linux-x86_64.AppImageIf the two values differ, delete the file and download it again from the official page. More on this in Is PhotoCraft safe?
Avoid look-alike downloads
“PhotoCraft” is a common name. App stores carry several unrelated photo apps called PhotoCraft or Photo Craft from other publishers, and third-party download sites repackage the installer. The open-source editor described here comes only from getartcraft.com and the storytold/photocraft repository on GitHub. File names start with photocraft- followed by the version number.
Older versions
Earlier builds and their notes stay on the GitHub releases page. PhotoCraft has shipped a new version every one to three days since its first release, so the latest is almost always the one to use. See the PhotoCraft changelog.

The official releases list Windows, macOS, Linux, FreeBSD and a web build only. Phone and tablet apps with a similar name in app stores are different products from other publishers.
