About
Photopea is a browser-based image editor that runs locally on the user’s device. The page states that files are not uploaded, that the editor uses the device CPU and GPU, and that it can be used offline after loading the site.
It supports raster and vector editing, PSD open/save, and a wide range of formats including PNG, JPG, GIF, BMP, WEBP, SVG, PDF, AI, AVIF, DDS, HEIC, TIFF, MP4, TGA, CDR, PDN, EPS, INDD, Figma, and RAW formats such as DNG, CR2, CR3, NEF, ARW, RW2, RAF, ORF, and FFF. The editor includes layers, masks, layer styles, smart objects, adjustment layers, channels, paths, filters, liquify, puppet warp, vector graphics, and AI-assisted background removal and object replacement.
Free Tier Value
This free tier is genuinely perpetual and uncapped, with no paid plan needed to access the core editor. Because it offers full browser-based use, offline use after loading, and no concrete quota or time limit, the practical monthly value is best treated as unbounded rather than compared to a paid tier.
What's included in the free tier
- Access to Photopea in a web browser for free.
- Use on desktop, laptop, tablet, or phone at no cost.
- Work completely offline after loading the site, with files staying on your device.
See Photopea pricing for current limits.
