Photopea (/ˈfoʊtəˈpiː/ FOH-tə-PEE) is a web-based photo and graphics editor. It is used for image editing, making illustrations, web design or converting between different image formats. Photopea is advertising-supported software. It is compatible with all modern web browsers, including Opera, Edge, Chrome, and Firefox.[5] The app is compatible with raster and vector graphics, such as Photoshop's PSD as well as JPEG, PNG, DNG, GIF, SVG, PDF and other image file formats. While browser-based, Photopea stores all files locally, and does not upload any data to a server.[6]

Features

Photopea has various image editing tools including spot healing, a clone stamp healing brush, and a patch tool. The software supports layers, layer masks, channels, selections, paths, smart objects, layer styles, text layers, filters and vector shapes.[7]

Photopea can be self hosted but needs to be bought. The prices is around $500 to $2000 per month. Ivan earned around $1 million in 2020. Most coming from the advertisements on the website and the rest from premium-users who pay for not seeing ads and the self-hosting-fees.[8]

Reception

Photopea has received positive coverage due to its similarities to Adobe Photoshop in design and workflow, making it an easier program for those trained in Photoshop to use, compared to other free raster image editors such as GIMP.[9]
