About Plasa

All your creative apps in one browser tab.

Plasa.app is a unified web launcher for 13 open-source creative applications developed in pure Rust by the ArtCraft team. No desktop installers, no user accounts, and no subscriptions required.

Why Plasa.app?

Professional creative software has historically meant bulky desktop installers, complex licensing servers, or proprietary cloud services that hold your project files behind monthly subscriptions.

Plasa.app provides a direct web home for the open-source ArtCraft ecosystem. Every app is built in pure Rust and compiled directly to WebAssembly. This means you can launch a full-featured vector editor, photo editor, or PDF tool on any modern device inside standard web browser tabs without installation friction.

How It Works

When you launch an application on Plasa.app:

  • WebAssembly Engine: The application binary is loaded into your browser memory and executes client-side using WebGPU or WebGL2 hardware acceleration.
  • Local File Processing: Files are read directly from your computer via standard browser file inputs and saved back to your hard drive upon export.
  • Zero Uploads: No canvas data, documents, spreadsheets, or video clips are ever transmitted to external servers.
  • Offline Capable: Once an app binary is cached by your browser, it runs entirely on your local machine without needing an ongoing cloud connection.
