ArtCraft Stream Deck profiles put application shortcuts on labelled keys for photo editing, video work, vector drawing, interface design and PDFs. Granite Coast Studio makes seven independent profile packs, each with a Windows edition and a Mac edition. Every pack includes layouts for Stream Deck Mini, the 15-key Stream Deck, XL and Stream Deck +.
Start with the application you use, then choose the operating system. The Windows packs include both Shortcuts and Enhanced profiles. The Mac packs contain shortcut profiles with macOS bindings. If you want direct application commands and supported live controls on Windows, the Enhanced edition uses the separately installed Craft Live Control plugin.
All fourteen Windows and Mac profile products are available on Elgato. Craft Live Control 1.0.0 is awaiting Elgato review. You can use the shortcut profiles now; Enhanced live controls require the separate plugin once it becomes available.
Which ArtCraft applications have Stream Deck profiles?
Each application has one product page where you can compare its Windows and Mac editions.
| Profile pack | Main workflow | Application shortcuts per edition |
|---|---|---|
| PhotoCraft Stream Deck profiles | Photo editing, brush tools, layers and selections | 51 |
| FilmCraft Stream Deck profiles | Video editing and timeline work | 34 |
| LightCraft Stream Deck profiles | Photo development and editing | 36 |
| EffectCraft Stream Deck profiles | Composition and timeline work | 42 |
| VectorCraft Stream Deck profiles | Vector drawing, selections and editing | 44 |
| FigCraft Stream Deck profiles | Interface design and editing | 52 |
| PdfCraft Stream Deck profiles | Documents and pages | 25 |
The shortcut count describes the application’s shortcut set, rather than the number of buttons on its home screen. Commands are arranged for each device’s key count. Smaller decks use category folders where needed; PdfCraft’s 25 shortcuts fit on a single XL screen.
Windows and Mac profiles: what is the difference?
The two operating-system editions are separate products. Choose the edition for the computer running your Craft application.
| Included | Windows edition | Mac edition |
|---|---|---|
| Device layouts | Mini, 15-key, XL and Stream Deck + | Mini, 15-key, XL and Stream Deck + |
| Profiles per pack | Eight: Shortcuts and Enhanced for each device | Four shortcut profiles |
| Keyboard bindings | Default Windows shortcuts | macOS shortcuts |
| Matching icons | Embedded in the profiles | Embedded in the profiles |
| Craft Live Control | Required separately for Enhanced features | Not required; Windows plugin features are not included |
| Stream Deck + dials | Supported controls in applicable Enhanced profiles | Keys only |
A Mac pack is a useful choice when you want labelled shortcuts without installing a separate plugin. On Windows, start with the Shortcuts edition for the same approach, or use Enhanced if the supported live controls fit your work.
Choose the layout for your Stream Deck
Import the profile built for your device. A Mini layout and an XL layout serve the same application, but the available space changes how commands are grouped.
On a small deck, keep the actions you repeat on the opening page and use folders for less frequent commands. On a larger deck, more actions can stay visible. The profiles use framed folder icons and an upper-left back key to distinguish navigation from ordinary commands.
The Craft Mono Creative icons are already embedded. You do not need to install the standalone icon pack to use the profiles.
Do you need Craft Live Control?
Shortcut profiles use Stream Deck’s built-in hotkey actions. Keep the Craft application in the foreground and use its default keyboard bindings. A text field, dialog, remapped shortcut or focused panel can change the result.
Craft Live Control for Windows adds direct application commands, live values and supported dial adjustments. Those features differ by app: PhotoCraft has brush controls, LightCraft supports the active develop adjustment, and FilmCraft and EffectCraft support playback and timeline navigation. VectorCraft supports selection rotation. The supplied FigCraft and PdfCraft profiles use keys.
The plugin is a separate product and installation. The corrected Windows profile ZIPs do not include its installer. See the shortcut versus Live Control comparison for setup details.
How to choose and install your profile
- Open the product page for your Craft application.
- Compare Windows and Mac, then choose the edition matching your computer.
- Import the profile for your Stream Deck model through the Stream Deck application.
- Bring the Craft application to the foreground and test a familiar shortcut.
- For Windows Enhanced features, install Craft Live Control separately and use its Connect action.
Craft applications are installed separately. These profile packs are made independently by Granite Coast Studio; they are not ArtCraft application downloads or products endorsed by ArtCraft.
