Photopea

Photopea is a free, web-based image editor that runs in a web browser. It was developed by Ivan Kutskir and launched in 2013. Photopea is designed to be a powerful and versatile tool for image editing, graphic design, and photo manipulation.

The interface of Photopea closely resembles that of Adobe Photoshop, a widely used professional image editing software. This familiar layout allows users, especially those already acquainted with Photoshop, to transition to Photopea with relative ease. It supports a wide range of file formats, including PSD, AI, XD, SKETCH, XCF, FIG, and many others, in addition to common formats like JPEG, PNG, and GIF. This broad compatibility makes it a useful tool for working with files from various design applications.

Photopea offers a comprehensive set of features for image editing. These include tools for selection, painting, retouching, vector graphics, and layer management. Users can perform tasks such as photo retouching, creating digital art, designing social media graphics, and editing complex composite images. The software also supports advanced features like layer styles, masks, adjustment layers, and smart objects.

As a web-based application, Photopea does not require any downloads or installations. It can be accessed from any device with a modern web browser and an internet connection. This accessibility makes it a convenient option for users who need to edit images on the go or who prefer not to install additional software on their computers. Photopea is funded through advertisements displayed on its website, but users can opt for a premium version to remove ads and access additional features.
