Sometimes you just need to do one quick thing: remove a background, add some text, or open a PSD file. You don’t want to download and install a massive program. For those moments, Photopea is nothing short of magic.

The Magic Trick:

  • It Works in Your Browser: Go to Photopea.com. That’s it. No install, no account needed. It runs on anything with a web browser.
  • Uncanny Resemblance: The interface is a near-perfect clone of Adobe Photoshop. If you already know Photoshop, you can jump into Photopea and know exactly what to do. The shortcuts are the same, the tools are in the same place.
  • Incredible File Support: It opens and saves in PSD, XCF, Sketch, and many other formats flawlessly.

The Trade-off: Since it’s browser-based, it requires a constant internet connection, and performance can vary based on your browser and computer speed. It’s supported by ads, but they are non-intrusive.

Perfect For: Quick edits on any computer, students learning Photoshop’s layout, and anyone who needs to open a PSD file but doesn’t have the software.
