In general, the program serves as a good substitute for those who cannot afford the more expensive picture editing software. Although there is a learning curve, once you figure out where everything is, things go quite well.

Pros

Everything I've required to carry out my picture editing and artwork preparation job is in Photopea, which is jam-packed with features. Since Photoshop is the software I was previously using, the screen's layout is comparable, making the move really simple. Because it's cloud-based, it's accessible from any location where I can obtain a connection, making it incredibly usable and accessible. Amazingly, it's a free item!

Cons

The program has a learning curve, just like many others before it did. You have to exercise patience when editing and looking for its tools because it might occasionally run slowly depending on the size of the project you're working on. As a result, becoming accustomed to the application itself takes time.

Photopea - Edit Images Like A Pro

I have been extremely impressed with Photopea. I had been looking for a quick-fix alternative to be able to make some basic changes to images, but when I came across Photopea, I couldn't believe how much functionality it offered. It's by no means a basic product, it provides a huge and diverse range of options and tools to do whatever I need. It's easy to use, because of its similarity to Photoshop, and top of all this, it's FREE! So, whilst it may not have all the bells and whistles of the latest version of Photoshop, it has everything I need for my creations and offers an incredibly full-on, utility-rich, does-the-job, free product.

Pros

Photopea is crammed full of functionality - everything I've needed to carry out my image editing and artwork preparation work.

The screen is laid out similarly to Photoshop, and as that is the software I used before, it's been a really easy transition to make as a result.

Being cloud-based, it's available wherever I can get a connection, making it very accessible and flexible to use.

Unbelievably, it's a free product!

Cons

I'm struggling to find any 'Cons' to be honest - when a product offers so much for nothing, how can I complain?! Even if you don't like the adverts on the side panel, you are given the option to subscribe for a monthly fee to remove them ... so really, there's no Con of any worthiness to mention.

Pros

It is an online editor, so you can easily switch systems and have all your work in it seamlessly.

Cons

As an online editor if you have a bad connection your work might sometimes get altered as it wont be properly saved.

It Is Alright For What The Pricing IS It IS definitely worth it. As I said Before If you are a professional designer or artist I would advice to purchase Photoshop from Adobe orang company similar. if Not I would totally recommend it as it is free.

Pros

Photopea Is A Software I Would Totally recommend To people who are just Starting To Get Into Their Creative Side And Want A Photoshop However don't Have The Money. It Is Free And Essentially Gives You everything Photoshop Has. It Is Somewhat Simple To Use After You Get The Hang Of It. Love it For What It Is And The Pricing.

Cons

What I Didn't Like Was That It sent An App. Now I know For some People This Is A conHowever I Fell Like Being Able To Have A Software downloaded Is Easier To Use. I Don't Like That you Cant Close The Art or Project Your Working On To do Another One As It does not save and therefore you have to finish it before closing out. In my experience It Would sometimes glitch and I would lose all my progress which was a pain in you know. I Would Definitely recommendIt If you aren't a professional who would use it to get projects that have too be turned in at a deadline however if you won't go ahead and use it.

Overall experience is best beacause whenever I need designing of any kind I quickly move to Photopea beacause it opens super fast and also you don't need high computer requirements or hardware requirements to use it. So I personally think that easy accessible is Photopea's USP

Pros

The best part about this software is that there are no subscriptions or fees charged for using it. It is best for the designing people who can't afford to buy those expensive softwares out there. Another best quality that it is easy to use without any prior knowledge becuase the hovering titles give you a clear idea of the tools in it. Photopea is something you don't need to update like other apllications, it stays up-to-date within itself. Different file format options is a cool feature I personally like

Cons

The part by which I am unsatisfied is people who are into daily designing business can work here but not with that efficiency because it is open source and not all tools are available to those that are professionally into designing. That is the only the flaw and overall it is very good

Alternatives Considered

Canva

Reasons for Choosing Photopea

I did switch because Adobe has very high rates for maintaining their software and also the hardware requirements are too high for maintaining the software.

Switched From

Adobe Photoshop

Reasons for Switching to Photopea

Easy to use, hassle free, no prior knowledge needed, no expensive PC components needed, no subscription charges, can access whenever needed these all are USP of Photopea which truly love

When I used Photopea, my photo editing problems were solved. I can now take photo editing orders from many customers and do it easily. I realized that this Software has lot of features and when I utilize them enough, I think I can work even easier and faster.

Pros

In Photopea, the features that I find most impactful is the Drag & Drop feature and Design Management because both of them makes me feel organized. This product is definitely easy to use for me because I find it easy to learn new things as long as I'm interested in it using the internet. When I started taking photo editing jobs, I learned to become open in new things specifically using new software. This is actually the third software I practiced during pioneer days and the integration with my existing business processes is easy.

Cons

I believe all kinds of Software can improve. When it comes to this one, my only suggestion is to make copyright free photos to choose from to use in the software soon. I sometimes need to use certain specific objects like a photo of a field of flowers and I have to look for them in some another website. I think it'll be convenient if it'll be available on the Photopea Software itself.

My team and I used the software for a long time, it was a great choice because we had the possibility to use the platform anywhere and on any operating system, this for us was a great advantage, in addition to the functions that were satisfactory for our graphic editions. The beginning of our projects with a focus on graphic design was with him, and it is essential that the quality of the project is very high. However, with an ever greater change of employees, the training difficulty did not compensate, since the functions necessary to carry out the edits were quite complex, so we saw the need to change services.

Pros

In general, Photopea is a good editing software, with basic and advanced tools. For users of traditional Photoshop, it is a very close online alternative. To take advantage of the online platform, it is not necessary to register or download any program on the computer, which is a great advantage over your competitor, in addition to having a range of files to create very interesting projects.

Cons

The software is interesting and a good alternative for some users, but due to the complexity of some of its functions and the lack of an instruction on usability, it is definitely a bad option for aspirants who want to create visual art projects, in addition to having some limitations for more experienced users who prefer to find a more effective action on their competitor.

Pros

Cons

From the title of the review, it is clear what this software or, better said, a page is for. It is simply an image / photo editor that looks too much like Photoshop. And that's not bad. Photopea offers most important functions for working with images and it is a very good and fast replacement for Photoshop, but of course it cannot completely replace it. I use Photopea especially when I need to quickly delete the background from the image and I do not have any similar software installed on my computer.

Pros

Most of the features used by the regular image editor are available for free and online, so you don't need to install anything. The environment is very similar to that in Photoshop and therefore clear and user friendly.

Cons

There are several functionalities for more experienced image editors missing, but since the software is available for free and online, I personally do not even consider it a disadvantage.

Photopea is just like Photoshop as it gets all my image editing tasks done. I use it for only minor jobs, such as background removal, adjusting image size and brightness, for example. I wouldn't consider myself an expert at photo editing, but Photopea has all the features needed to do an amazing job. I think more people should know about it!

Cons

Pros

This online editor impressed me, it is very complete, it has the necessary and complete options to make the professional editing space, options such as liquefying, layered work, even filters and smart selection options, I like it because it is online and it is an alternative incredible to use it anywhere with an internet connection without having to install it, and the best thing is the diversity of formats that it accepts such as psd, Ai among others

I am really impressed with the quality of the interface that this program has and how easy and intuitive it is to use.
