Photopea

Has a free tier

Browser-based photo editor with PSD support and AI tools

Pros

  • ✓ Runs in the browser with no installation and processes files locally, so images are not uploaded.
  • ✓ Opens and saves PSD files and supports roughly 60 image and document formats, including RAW camera files.
  • ✓ Includes layers, masks, smart objects, adjustment layers, channels, paths, vector tools and filters such as Liquify and Puppet Warp.

Cons

  • ✗ The pricing page returns a 404, so plan names, prices and any paid tiers could not be verified.
  • ✗ Performance depends on the user's own hardware, as the site states better hardware gives better results.

Summary

We have not used both of these yet, so there is no score to pick a winner with. What they cost, who they suit and what each one does is in the table above.

Some links here earn us a commission. We earn it whether we praised the tool or not, which is why the verdict does not move for it.
