Comments and Reviews

   
Comment summary: Photopea is praised for being a robust, free alternative to Photoshop, admired for its extensive PSD support and browser accessibility. Users appreciate the seamless feature integration similar to Photoshop, including layers, vectorizing, and converting file formats like Sketch to PSD. The developer's responsiveness to feedback is also highlighted. However, some users note recent issues such as performance bugs, ad blocker conflicts, and reduced capabilities with a new premium version.

A real Photoshop killer, though only available on the web. It successfully punishes greedy Adobe by doing 99% of everything Photoshop does for free. It lacks some advanced features but most people do not use them anyways.

Very surprised about this amazing web tool. It surpasses most of image editing software out there. UI is very carefully designed. May be not the top 3, but can compete best professional image editing tools.

As I was switching back and forth between a browser site and a captured image that I want to mark while I check job listings, I realized an online editor might make things easier. Tried Photopea. The uploaded image came in zoomed out, so I tried a standard ctrl/scroll to zoom in.. no luck. Used the magnifying icon to zoom, but the image is past boundaries, and the boundaries don't have the stretching squares that most editing programs seem to. Looks like there's some learning curve.

I recently came back to Photopea after some time, but it is no longer what it claimed to be. I originally started using Photopea, because it was the new free Photoshop, but these days you need a premium version of 5$ a month to use most of it's features. You can still use it for free, but it is greatly limited. It even annoys you about using an ad blocker and I've heard some bad stories about them going against ad blockers and even bothering people not even using one. I am very disappointed at what it has become, I don't think it is worth it anymore.

Great free software. Sadly they have introduced quite a lot of bugs during the last two years (such as PDFs struggeling, and bad UX AI features)

Review from a new or low-activity account — shown here, but not counted in the app rating.

Honestly I think that more people should know about this easy to use, free yet super powerfull tool.

Ad free experience without any "pay to download" stuff found on other web based image editors.

10/10 I highly recommend using this if you are not experienced in photoshop and have no time to learn it from scratch and just wanna edit memes quickly ;)

This is the best alternative to Photoshop by far, even better than Gimp with the Photoshop plugin.

I recommend you to install Photopea as a PWA and you will be good.

Free tools (Software that can help you mostly in any field)

This is going to be a list of the free tools/software that can be used mostly in any field. it's based on websites recommendations, personal experience and YouTube videos. If there's any software that you like to be added here pls inform me so we can do it together. They won't be in the alphabetical order. Together we can do it.

Create without Adobe (free n' paid) 2025

There is no doubt that Adobe Suite is great, even in some case it's probably the best. But you can be mad at Adobe for many reasons, expensive monthly subscribtion method, bad stability, useless features, paying for tools you don't use. Here is my list with the best way to ditch Adobe monopoly in my opinion. I tried to add Open Source alternatives too as some are really good. I only covered Adobe softwares that I've used so I'm sorry if you don't find what you came for...
