### "mon point de vue"

January 25, 2026

5.0

Pros

Pour les ajustements de dernière minute il est rêmement pratique de Recommande Photopea , surtout quand tu n’est pas sur ton poste principal. C’est un vrai plus aussi pour des corrections urgentes avec des clients.

Cons

Quand les fichiers deviennent lourds ou que les projets s’accumulent, l’organisation et le suivi des versions restent assez basiques. Il faut rester attentif pour éviter les confusions entre plusieurs exports.

### "Great Free Photo Edition App "

April 3, 2025

5.0

It’s been great it was a good replacement for other softwares that got too expensive and it has the same tools and options.

Pros

It has all the tools I need to edit my pictures and create great visuals.

Cons

Initially the ads were a little annoying but after subscribing for a small fee you get them removed.

### "Software alternativo para editar fotos"

July 24, 2024

4.0

Photopea es una herramienta que suelo utiliar cuando necesito hacer una edicion rapida, con solo abrirla ya esta lista para ser usada. He podido crear con facilidad todo tipo de logotipos y artes publicitarios con acabados bastante buenos.

Pros

Lo que me gusta de Photopea es que su diseño e interface es muy similar a photoshop, por lo que sus herramientes y funciones se me hacen familiares y muy intuitivas de usar.

Cons

El unico punto en contra que tengo hacia Photopea es que no posee aplicaciones descargables de escritorio para la edicion offline, por lo que ajuro dependo de estar conectado al internert para poder usarlo y realizar mis ediciones.

### "Photopea great alternative to Photoshop"

August 29, 2024

5.0

For my use cases, it's pretty good. I limit myself to fixing backgrounds, resizing images and improving image tones.

Pros

It's a free accessible online version of Photoshop

Cons

It's unfortunately very slow. I believe they have changed their data loads to face cost of servers management. As a result only, premium customers get to have a fast service.

It has been a very positive experience for us as a free software which we use regularly to make YouTube thumbnails and the templates already present help us a lot in saving our time

Pros

Ability to do almost everything that photoshop has to offer for free, easy to use, online access, readymade templates for convenience

Cons

The overall look of the software could be streamlined and made to look more appealing, there might be some instability issues occassionally

### "Photopea for Good & Easy Editing Software"

August 3, 2022

5.0

I had a great experience using Photpea for creating materials for our Facebook and Twitter ads. It helped me create all the stuff in a jiffy and without too much hassle. I like the pre made templates it offers, and also the little game section that it has. From time to time I love exploring those little games made by the creators of Photopea. I find Photopea to be really helpful especially for the beginners who can’t step into the world of Photoshop yet.

Pros

Photopea is one of the best photo editing software for the beginners. As compared to advanced photo editors it is easy to use to creating material from scratch. The best part is Photopea doesn’t even charge a fee, hence is the best option for designers who can’t afford expensive editing softwares. It has tons of features and pre made templates as well.

Cons

Photopea is an awesome software in my opinion for carrying out basic designing tasks in a jiffy. It can be a bit overwhelming at times while trying to find a specific option but other than that I am satisfied with what Photopea is offering.

### "Photopea - Edit Images Like A Pro"

July 28, 2022

5.0

I have been extremely impressed with Photopea. I had been looking for a quick-fix alternative to be able to make some basic changes to images, but when I came across Photopea, I couldn't believe how much functionality it offered. It's by no means a basic product, it provides a huge and diverse range of options and tools to do whatever I need. It's easy to use, because of its similarity to Photoshop, and top of all this, it's FREE! So, whilst it may not have all the bells and whistles of the latest version of Photoshop, it has everything I need for my creations and offers an incredibly full-on, utility-rich, does-the-job, free product.

Pros

Photopea is crammed full of functionality - everything I've needed to carry out my image editing and artwork preparation work. The screen is laid out similarly to Photoshop, and as that is the software I used before, it's been a really easy transition to make as a result. Being cloud-based, it's available wherever I can get a connection, making it very accessible and flexible to use. Unbelievably, it's a free product!

Cons

I'm struggling to find any 'Cons' to be honest - when a product offers so much for nothing, how can I complain?! Even if you don't like the adverts on the side panel, you are given the option to subscribe for a monthly fee to remove them ... so really, there's no Con of any worthiness to mention.

I no longer had access to a previous version of Adope Photoshop and the monthly subscription price of the current version was far too expensive for my needs.

### "Easy to use"

December 13, 2022

5.0

When I used Photopea, my photo editing problems were solved. I can now take photo editing orders from many customers and do it easily. I realized that this Software has lot of features and when I utilize them enough, I think I can work even easier and faster.

Pros

In Photopea, the features that I find most impactful is the Drag & Drop feature and Design Management because both of them makes me feel organized. This product is definitely easy to use for me because I find it easy to learn new things as long as I'm interested in it using the internet. When I started taking photo editing jobs, I learned to become open in new things specifically using new software. This is actually the third software I practiced during pioneer days and the integration with my existing business processes is easy.

Cons

I believe all kinds of Software can improve. When it comes to this one, my only suggestion is to make copyright free photos to choose from to use in the software soon. I sometimes need to use certain specific objects like a photo of a field of flowers and I have to look for them in some another website. I think it'll be convenient if it'll be available on the Photopea Software itself.

### " Photopéa un excellent outil"

October 18, 2023

5.0

J'ai vraiment adoré utiliser Photopéa ! C'est un outil très pratique et facile à utiliser pour retoucher mes photos. J'ai été impressionné par la qualité des fonctionnalités qu'il offre, notamment la possibilité de travailler en couches et de réaliser des ajustements précis. Je suis très satisfait de mon expérience avec Photopéa et je le recommande vivement à tous ceux qui souhaitent éditer leurs photos de manière professionnelle.

Pros

Photopéa offre une interface similaire à Photoshop, ce qui le rend facile à utiliser si tu connais déjà Photoshop. De plus, il est entièrement en ligne, ce qui signifie que tu n'as pas besoin de le télécharger. C'est pratique et accessible depuis n'importe quel ordinateur. En plus, elle propose une version payante appelée "Photopéa Plus". Elle offre des fonctionnalités et des avantages supplémentaires, comme l'accès à de nouvelles mises à jour et une assistance prioritaire. Cependant, la version gratuite de Photopéa est déjà très complète et convient à la plupart des utilisateurs.  !

Cons

Franchement, je n'ai pas grand-chose à reprocher à Photopéa. J'ai vraiment apprécié mon expérience avec cet outil. Si je devais trouver quelque chose, ce serait peut-être le fait qu'il ne soit pas aussi connu que Photoshop, donc il y a moins de ressources et de tutoriels disponibles. Mais dans l'ensemble, c'est un super éditeur de photos en ligne !

### "Una herramienta util para editar imagenes de forma Express"

November 29, 2023

4.0

Mi experiencia con photopea a sido muy buena ya que lo uso para hacer ediciones rapidas donde quiera que este desde su version web. Algo a resaltar es que admite todos los tipos de archivos de edicion de imagenes, incluso de programas de vectores como corel draw los puedo editar y salvarlos como archivos PSD, lo cual me ha ahorrado pasos extras que antes debia hacer para cambiar los archivos de formato.

Pros

Lo que mas me gusta de Photopea es que practicamente todas las funciones que suelo usar en photoshop estan presentes y puedo editar mis imagenes de forma rapida desde la version web, desde cualquier parte sin necesidad de tener instalado el software en el PC

Cons

Lo unico que no me ha gustado de photopea es que a veces cuando trato de aplicar algunos filtros a mis imagenes no cargan bien si estoy en lugar donde no hay buena conexion de internet, o tardan un poco en aplicarse. De resto no tengo quejas sobre esta herramienta.

### "All you need in one place"

April 5, 2024

5.0

I can't believe that it's actually free to use. No need to spends hundreds to get your business what it needs. Can't imagine using anything else.

Pros

Photopea is something I can't go without on daily basis. Even though I can use more expensive softwares to do the same thing, I always come back to photopea. Easy, supports multiple formats, doesn't take any storage on any device. The best part is that I can use it on any laptop or computer without needing to pay and download on every device. All I need is to open my browser, get my files from cloud storage and I am working from anywhere.

Cons

Nothing is perfect, and same applies to photopea. With some files, photopea struggles to open and view them properly. Happens rarely but enough so that I have to find different vectors and files etc.

### "Un editor di immagini online comodo, intuitivo e per di più anche gratuito !"

December 11, 2023

4.0

Lo uso per la comodità di utilizzare un software online di foto-ritocco quando sono fuori sede, con comandi molto molto simili a quelli del più famoso Photoshop. Spesso ultimamente mi sta capitando di utilizzare anche funzioni di condivisione di risorse con colleghi tramite Dropbox.

Pros

Drag & Drop molto funzionale. Mi piace l'esportazione di file e l'uso dei livelli che lo rendono molto simile a software di foto-ritocco più blasonati e conosciuti presenti sul mercato. Photopea anche nella sua versione free è molto affidabile, anche se pesano tanto le risorse ed il sistema operativo a disposizione sul pc che si sta utilizzando essendo un programma fruibile online. Comodissima anche la condivisione e la gestione di file di lavoro con Google Drive e Dropbox

Cons

Aggiungerei nel tool di modifica delle immagini un maggior numero di comandi specifici come : altera, inclina, distorci , prospettiva, etc ..

### "Photopea una herramienta profesional al alcance de todos"

June 7, 2022

5.0

En unas vacaciones decidí salir de casa sin ningún equipo tecnologico, pero no falto el cliente que justo antes de enviar su flyer a la imprenta descubrió que un dato estaba errado. En medio de la nada y sin mi computadora acudí a un cyber cafe y con una conexión no muy buena pude resolver el problema hacer las correcciones necesarias y enviar el archivo final a mi cliente, desde ese momento cuando viajo siempre prefiero usar Photopea en mi Mac Book air que no tiene instalado Photoshop y estoy seguro que podré trabajar cualquier archivo gráfico.

Pros

Es una herramienta espectacular para aquellos que no tienen la posibilidad de comprar PhotoShop, no hay escusa para los diseñadores que por recursos o por equipo no tienen acceso a herramientas profesionales como Photoshop.

Cons

La mayoría de veces no puedes trabajar con documentos muy pesados ya que se depende del ancho de banda, pero para archivos pequeños o medianos es una excelente alternativa.

### "Photopea is my destiny. "

September 6, 2023

5.0

Great! turn to it everytime I have a design project.

Pros

having familiarity with photoshop allows for a quick startup sharing simular GUI & tools. Being web-based allows me to edit from many locations.

Cons

Saving and exporting can be quite cumbersome, once your design has many layers the browser takes up a lot of cpu, could be mostly a result of the hardware your system is running to gage its performance.

### "No account, no registration, just pick up and use!"

January 26, 2021

5.0

I highly recommend Photopea it's an alternative that works, with one compromise I feel, the 3D design feature, but I recommend it none the less!

Pros

Photopea is free to use either directly online or as a web application "installed" on your desktop. When on your desktop it's a web application and it does not take much space. You do not need to register or create an account. Just visit the website and your all set. What I found to be the best Photopea feature for me was that it's offline accessible, although to be able to access it you have to first start it while connected. Photopea works well, with no compromise on the quality of your work. When I first started with it I was a bit concerned about this, but it gladly proved me wrong and I use it for a lot of my design work. The other plus for Photopea is that its User Interface is similar to that of the leading photo editing and design software with virtually no learning curve between the two.

Cons

The only 3D design option that Photopea has is a filter and it is very limited. It would be nice if more 3D design features could be added. Alternatively developing the current 3D filter option to be able to keep the original colors of the artwork instead of the purple color that is produced would be great.

Complessivamente lo trovo un programma molto valido, che riesce a tener testa persino a software molto più costosi e più complicati del necessario.

Pros

Photopea offre una vasta gamma di tools in grado di tenere facilmente testa ai software più conosciuti nel settore, a mio avviso è veramente valido.

Cons

L'unica "pecca" del programma ahìme è che con dei fogli di lavoro molto grandi tende a diventare un po' lentino, ma oltre questo tutto okay.

### "Photopea review"

October 19, 2022

5.0

In general, the program serves as a good substitute for those who cannot afford the more expensive picture editing software. Although there is a learning curve, once you figure out where everything is, things go quite well.

Pros

Everything I've required to carry out my picture editing and artwork preparation job is in Photopea, which is jam-packed with features. Since Photoshop is the software I was previously using, the screen's layout is comparable, making the move really simple. Because it's cloud-based, it's accessible from any location where I can obtain a connection, making it incredibly usable and accessible. Amazingly, it's a free item!

Cons

The program has a learning curve, just like many others before it did. You have to exercise patience when editing and looking for its tools because it might occasionally run slowly depending on the size of the project you're working on. As a result, becoming accustomed to the application itself takes time.

Valida alternativa al più celebre software al quale è ispirata, photopea non ha nulla da invidiare anche ai software più famosi; impostazioni chiare , velocità e professionalità. Consigliatissimo!!

May 5, 2021

I like photopea after using photoshop and other expensive programs. Photopea is not so powerful as photoshop, but I do not need it. Exelance choose for marketers like me.

Pros

Photopea gives me and my team the freedom to work from different devices. It 's no need to install heavy programs. Just work from any browser. Very popular online tool for my company.

Cons

It could be very useful to have some predefined templates for common use.

Reason for choosing Photopea

I use both crello and photopea. Crello response bro my need for ready to use templates, but photopea is better to create design from the scratch.

### "A free option for users that have any experience in this kind of software."

May 9, 2021

5.0

Pros

The most important thing about this software is that it's mostly free, but not completely because it has some tools that you need to pay to use them. It has good adaptability to do any design for every kind of job in which you can add your personal touch. It works with extensions of other software like .PSD, .AI, .XD, .sketch, .PDF and .XCF. So, the compatibility it doesn't a problem because it supports a lot of types of files like JPG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, SVG, DDS, etc. And you can export to any type of file or extension that you want or you need to realize your job in the correct form. The most important thing about this software is that it's mostly free, but not completely because it has some tools that you need to pay to use them.

Cons

The first bad thing that I have to say about this software is that it has tools that you need to pay to use, and that's a bitter pill because if you need especially one of these tools the unique solution for your problem is that you pay. The second and last bad that I found in this software is that its online software, it's a web page, and you need an internet connection to use it, so, if you need to work on a remote site that doesn't have internet, you may be in a problem.
