What is PhotoPea?

Photopea is a browser-based online photo editor that runs locally in the browser and processes files using the device CPU/GPU. It supports layered editing with masks, adjustment layers, layer styles, smart objects, channels and paths, compatible with common PSD workflows. Photopea opens and saves PSD and many formats (PNG, JPG, GIF, SVG, PDF, AI, TIFF, HEIC and RAW formats such as DNG, CR2, NEF). Image adjustments and filters include levels, curves, color balance, exposure, Gaussian blur, liquify and puppet warp, while vector tools support logo and icon design. AI features include one-click background removal and content-aware replacement for editing or replacing image regions. No installation is required—the editor runs in any modern browser and scales with available hardware. Useful for graphic designers, social media creators, students and small businesses for photo retouching, compositing, layout and web graphics.
