How it works
The free version covers the full editor with ads, and Premium costs $5 a month, or $50 a year, for an ad-free experience and more features. It is developed by one person, Ivan Kutskir, and it is funded by ads and Premium subscriptions rather than venture capital.
Photopea is the best free Photoshop alternative in a browser. It will not match Photoshop's AI features, but for opening and editing PSD files without paying, it is unmatched — and the $5 Premium plan is the cheapest way to get a full-featured editor.
