Photopea, is an amazing, online image editor, whether you need to design a simple graphic or perform basic retouches to a picture, to advanced filters and scripting programming, Photopea has got you covered.
Wow, this is great. And perfect timing for me -- I lost my Adobe licenses when I left my last job, and sometimes Sketch just can't do what I need it to. I resorted to Gimp, which has a painful learning curve.
Unbelievably cool tool that I've used countless times to put together a layered mock of something quickly. (It's the first result on google for "online photoshop"). I'm no designer, but for the things I'm trying to do this is more than suitable. The fact that it is web based is just another +.
I have been using Photopea for more than a year now and I can say that Photopea can deliver my basic image manipulation needs like cropping, colour editing, and creating news header images, but it's definitely more powerful than what I can harness. However, I still find the interface to be a little bit confusing compared to my experience with Adobe Photoshop and Affinity Photo.
This product is absolutely brilliant. Whenever I am unable to use Photoshop, and need to do some photo editing, Photopea is the first site I load. It is incredibly advanced, can do a ridiculous amount (it's almost as powerful as Photoshop itself!), and due to the fact it's similarly designed to PS, anybody familiar with PS should be able to use Photopea with absolutely no problems. And it's genuinely completely free! Couldn't recommend this site more.
Photoshop has a big learning curve and can be kind of expensive if you have to do a few designs, but you're not the official "designer" of your team. I decided to use Canva to create a few models, but it's pretty limited when you have to work a lot with specific illustrations.
I've been searching for something in the middle of Ps & Canva. It's safe to say that Photopea is that solution. My photoshop skills are a little rusty, but I'm eager to work on a new design with this tool.
And by being free & online, it's a no-braining in my book!
I work primarily on ChromeOS these days (currently on Pixelbook, was on Chrome Book) so I inevitably had to toggle with other devices that have PS installed (sorry, not doing Adobe's SaaS deal) in order to do any significant image editing. Sure, web apps like Canva are great; but they're pretty lightweight and are mainly for making quick social media posts IMO. Being introduced to Photopea has probably been the most productive event so far in 2020 for me. Everything I did on PS, I can do on Photopea. I can even make GIFs. Can't speak highly enough of this tool and am happy to see someone hunted it!
FYI: I'm not a graphic designer so my image editor needs are not so intense. However, as most people working on a startup can attest, you'll probably have to dip your toes in the design waters at some point. And I haven't yet seen a meaningful web-based alternative to PS other than Photopea.
Excellent web-based Photoshop alternative.
Free version does everything without imposing any functional limits. Key differences between free and paid version is number of steps available in history (undos you can do 30 vs 60) and no ads ($9/mo). Excellent.
