No dedicated GPU
Prompt building, project organization, and standard non-AI editing are expected to remain usable. Local AI generation is not currently certified as a CPU-only launch target.
Compatibility & system requirements
Power when you want it. Clear guidance when you need it.
PeelCraft uses a verified development registry for supported engine profiles. The planned public PeelCraft installer ships with zero third-party AI model weights bundled; Model Manager is designed to direct users to official upstream sources identified by PeelCraft and verify the supported profile separately.
Development guidance is conservative and can change before public release. The verified system and provisional tiers below are not blanket performance guarantees.
Verified
Verified development configuration
The current four-profile public development registry is aligned to the engines now being carried forward in PeelCraft. The RTX 3090 system remains the verified quality target, not the final minimum specification.
- Windows 11 64-bit
- NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 with 24 GB VRAM
- 31.9 GB system RAM
- CUDA 12.6
- Four current public development engine profiles
- Automatic memory retry and model reuse enabled
GPU and VRAM guidance
Local generation requirements depend on the selected engine. Lower-memory operation may use offloading or other memory-saving techniques, but those options can be much slower and are not yet certified across the full PeelCraft workflow.
Lower-VRAM systems
Real-world beta testing is wanted on lower-spec Windows PCs. This is a testing target, not a promise that every local generation engine will run on every lower-VRAM GPU.
13 GB VRAM
FLUX.2 Klein 4B is designed for an approximately 13 GB consumer-GPU footprint upstream. The complete PeelCraft workflow at this tier still requires controlled testing.
16 GB VRAM
Current registry guidance for FLUX.1 Schnell and Z-Image Print Quality. This is a planned lower target for those profiles, not a universal guarantee for every engine.
24 GB VRAM
Verified on the current development system for the four public engine profiles, including the current Qwen-Image 2512 workflow.
Operating system and processor guidance
The current application and local AI runtime are verified on one Windows and NVIDIA CUDA configuration. Other hardware remains pending until it is tested, not merely assumed.
Windows 11 64-bit
Current verified desktop target.
Windows 10
Not yet certified for the public release.
NVIDIA CUDA
Current verified acceleration path for local generation.
AMD and Intel graphics
Not yet certified for PeelCraft local generation. The website will not promise support before controlled testing.
CPU requirement
Exact processor minimum is not yet published. Standard editing and prompt workflows are expected to be lighter than local AI generation.
System memory and storage planning
Local AI models are large. Storage should be planned separately from the PeelCraft application itself.
32 GB system RAM
Verified and recommended for the current full development configuration.
16 GB system RAM
A real-world beta target for lighter workflows and selected systems. Final support depends on the engine, GPU memory, resolution, and clean-machine testing.
Model storage
Current public-registry model downloads range from roughly 20.6 GB to 57.7 GB before additional cache and working-space needs. Plan SSD space separately from the PeelCraft application itself.
Free working space
Additional room is required for downloads, temporary files, generated artwork, previews, backups, and updates. Exact public minimum remains pending.
What PeelCraft is not promising yet
These items stay clearly unverified until they pass controlled testing.
CPU-only local generation
Not a certified launch target.
Lower-VRAM local generation
Not yet certified. Beta feedback is welcome, but the website does not promise that every engine will run on lower-memory GPUs.
AMD or Intel local-generation acceleration
Not yet certified.
Windows 10
Not yet certified.
All laptop thermal and power configurations
Performance can vary and requires real-device testing.
All driver versions
Supported driver guidance will be published with the public compatibility matrix.
Current development engine registry
These are the four current public compatibility profiles being carried forward in PeelCraft: FLUX.1 Schnell, FLUX.2 Klein 4B, Z-Image Print Quality, and Qwen-Image 2512. They are third-party technologies, not PeelCraft-owned engines, and the public installer is planned to bundle zero third-party model weights.

Have a different Windows PC? We want to hear from you.
We are actively looking for beta testers with desktops, laptops, different NVIDIA GPUs, and lower-spec systems. AMD and Intel graphics users can also contact us for future compatibility testing; no local-generation support is promised until a setup is tested.
