About Photopea

Photopea is the web's most powerful free image editor, matching Photoshop's interface and capabilities without installation or account. Open PSDs with full layer support, edit XCF (GIMP), Sketch files, and even RAW photos directly in your browser. Features include layers with blend modes, masks, smart objects, pen tool, advanced selections, filters, and support for CMYK color mode. Built by a single developer (Ivan Kutskir), Photopea processes everything locally—your images never leave your computer. The free version includes ads; Premium ($5/month) removes them and adds email support. Perfect for quick edits without software installation, students who can't afford Photoshop, or professionals needing emergency access to PSD files on any computer.
