DataCraft StudioDownload Free

Getting started

From download to your first query in a few minutes.

1. Install

Use the Download Free button. Advanced packages are on the latest release page:

PackageUse it when
DataCraft-Studio-x64-setup.exeYou want the normal install. Recommended.
DataCraft-Studio-x64.msiYou deploy software with Group Policy or scripts.
  • Requirements: Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit.
  • The installers include the Visual C++ runtime and install Microsoft WebView2 if it's missing.
  • If SmartScreen shows Windows protected your PC, verify the checksum, then choose More info → Run anyway.

2. Add a connection

  1. Open Connections from the navigation rail on the left.
  2. Create a new connection and pick your data source.
  3. Fill in the form. Each engine has its own fields—see Connecting to your data.
  4. Test the connection, then save it.

Passwords and API keys are saved to Windows Credential Manager, never to the profile file.

3. Explore

Open Explorer to browse databases, schemas, tables, views, columns, indexes and keys—or collections, indices and inferred fields for document and search engines.

  • Press Enter on a connection to connect or disconnect it.
  • Press F5 to refresh the selected item.
  • Press Shift+F10 (or right-click) for the actions available on an object.

Metadata is cached locally, so the tree and autocomplete are fast the next time.

4. Run a query

  1. Press Ctrl+T to open a query tab for the active connection.
  2. Write your query. Press Ctrl+Space for suggestions from the live schema.
  3. Press Ctrl+Enter to run. If you've selected text, only the selection runs.

For data sources that support it, the Run button turns into Stop while a query is running.

5. Work with results

  • Select cells to see count, sum, average, min and max in the status bar.
  • Search within the loaded rows without re-running the query.
  • Click a nested object or array to open it as formatted JSON.
  • Ctrl+C copies the selection; Ctrl+Shift+C copies it with headers.
  • Right-click to copy as CSV, TSV, JSON or Markdown.

6. Export

  • Export to a file as CSV or Excel (.xlsx).
  • Export a complete result set that is too large for the grid. For data sources that support bulk reads, DataCraft streams the full source to disk in parts—CSV or NDJSON, optionally compressed with gzip or zstd—with a manifest.json describing the export. Large exports run in the background and can be paused, resumed or cancelled.
