Overview

Photopea is the simplest answer to a common question: what can open a PSD without Adobe? It runs in the browser, handles layers and masks, and keeps files on your device according to the site. Its home page lists AI tools too: one-click background removal and replacing any part of an image with new content from a text description. It is a fit for quick edits and file conversion rather than heavy production. No paid-plan details are listed.

Who it's for

A good fit if you are…

  • Anyone who needs Photoshop-style layers and masks without a subscription

Another tool may suit you better if you are…

  • People who need Adobe's Firefly-style generative tools
  • Large collaborative asset workflows
