Photopea

Image editor that runs in your browser and opens PSD, RAW, AI, SVG and 40 more formats.

Free plan available

Our verdict

Photopea is for people who need Photoshop-style editing, including opening and saving PSD files, without installing or paying for anything. Skip it if you want a desktop app, an ad-free screen for free, or a tool whose licence is open source.

What it does well

Opens and saves PSD plus more than 40 formats, including RAW camera files
Runs in the browser with nothing to install, and files are processed on your device, not uploaded
Full editing feature set available free, including AI background removal

Where it falls short

The free version shows advertisements
Premium and business prices are not published on any public page
No native desktop or mobile apps — it is a web app

The Photopea website — The official Photopea website, 2 November 2026.

Photopea is an online image editor that runs entirely in your browser. It offers layers, masks, smart objects and filters like Curves, Gaussian Blur and Liquify, plus AI features such as one-click background removal. It opens and saves PSD files and over 40 other formats, including SVG, PDF, AI, Sketch/Figma files and camera RAW.

It is free to use, and the site stresses that there are no uploads — Photopea runs on your device using your CPU and GPU. Editing is financed by ads; the API page confirms a paid whitelabel 'Distributor' option that hides advertising and branding for business deployments, and a Premium account exists.

The catches: Photopea is proprietary (its GitHub repository hosts issues and API docs, not the app's source), the free version carries ads, and Premium pricing is only shown inside the app rather than on a public pricing page — photopea.com/pricing returns a 404.
