Pros and Cons
"You can zoom in and out to easily identify what you would like to fix or add to the picture. You can take away the background, which is a super cool feature."
"The program allows you to maneuver around your workplace easily and makes identifying what you would like to fix or add to images a breeze. There are many cool features and it makes editing fun."
"Photopea is one of the best photo editing apps out there. It's clean, easy to use and offers great features."
"Photopea is slow for me. Over the years, I have tried it on many systems and browsers but I always feel that lack of speed as compared to a native image editor."
"The only 3D design option that Photopea has is a filter and it is very limited."
"Sometimes it is a little bit difficult to find the function, so the user needs to scroll through complete menu. Need a few working hours to adapt."

No account, no registration, just pick up and use!
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.
Reasons for switching to Photopea
Initially, I switched to Photopea because it's UI is similar and because its free. Now I am using Photopea because it's competitive and it works well!

My thoughts On Photopea
It Is Alright For What The Pricing IS It IS definitely worth it. As I said Before If you are a professional designer or artist I would advice to purchase Photoshop from Adobe orang company similar. if Not I would totally recommend it as it is free.
PROS
Photopea Is A Software I Would Totally recommend To people who are just Starting To Get Into Their Creative Side And Want A Photoshop However don't Have The Money. It Is Free And Essentially Gives You everything Photoshop Has. It Is Somewhat Simple To Use After You Get The Hang Of It. Love it For What It Is And The Pricing.
CONS
What I Didn't Like Was That It sent An App. Now I know For some People This Is A conHowever I Fell Like Being Able To Have A Software downloaded Is Easier To Use. I Don't Like That you Cant Close The Art or Project Your Working On To do Another One As It does not save and therefore you have to finish it before closing out. In my experience It Would sometimes glitch and I would lose all my progress which was a pain in you know. I Would Definitely recommendIt If you aren't a professional who would use it to get projects that have too be turned in at a deadline however if you won't go ahead and use it.
Reasons for switching to Photopea
It was Too Expensive and As I am Not Using It for Professional Use Anymore I decided to Get Photopea.

Perfect for beginners
This is a perfect software for beginners and helps alot when one needs something done very quickly. Does the job very well for simple not demanding tasks.
PROS
The ease of deployment and the accessibility is top. The low technical requirements is a main competitive advantage.
CONS
It does not work very well with all PSD files. Sometimes there is a problem with layers - they dissapear or are visualized in a different color. This is only for complex projects.
Reason for choosing Photopea
Because of the similarity with Photoshop. One does not need to make an account to use it. Just load and go.

Photopea for Good & Easy Editing Software
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.
Reasons for switching to Photopea
We had to switch because they were turning out to be expensive options for us.

Great value for no money
Everyday tasks made simple. It made my daily picture modification life easier and faster.
PROS
It is really easy to use, most of the actions can be found with just one click. Difficult made easy.
CONS
I found that there were some features that were missing but they were not essential and I could do everything I needed to do.
Reasons for switching to Photopea
It was a money decision. Our company did not want to pay for Adobe licences so we had to find another way of editing pictures

Photopea: a great and cheap alternative to Photoshop
Great tool for beginners with the same basic features as Photoshop.
PROS
Amazing software for people just starting in graphic design. Free to use, it offers the same basic features as Photoshop, and is accessible to anyone whose computer doesn't have a lot of RAM.
CONS
The 3D design could use a little more features.
Reasons for switching to Photopea
A way better and cheaper alternative. Also, Photoshop uses a lot of memory.

Full-fledged image editing powerhouse right in your browser
PROS
What I like the most about Photopea is that it holds so many image editing capabilities under one platform, accessible from any modern web browser — for free! Also it can import and export some of the most popular formats which makes it even more powerful.
CONS
I think Photopea can improve even more by offering users two interfaces; simple and advanced, the simple interface can contain the more common features like cropping, resizing, etc. in a more modern and intuitive layout. And the advanced interface could be the current version which has all the features.

Photopea una herramienta profesional al alcance de todos
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.
Reason for choosing Photopea
Porque es la única herramienta en línea que me permite abrir cualquier tipo de gráficos y dar una salida profesional de las piezas gráficas y cumplir con mis clientes.
Reasons for switching to Photopea
Porque en ese momento no contaba con mi equipo de trabajo y lo pude utilizar en líena sin níngún tipo de pago o registro

Excellent Online Resource
My overall experience is great and I would highly recommend it to anyone who needs editing done in a simple and quick way. You don't need to pay for very advanced tools when Photopea can save the day.
PROS
I've been using Photopea online for a year to make adjustments to the digital greeting cards that I am creating to sell online via different freelancing platforms. I can confidently say that it's an excellent tool to use even when you need advanced editing options as Photopea is just great with its capabilities. I can easily change colors, create and edit layers, save files as any format needed.
CONS
The only thing which I would like to be improved is the zoom function in browser, as it's a bit difficult to control it without a scrolling bar.
Reasons for switching to Photopea
Free trial from Photoshop expired and as I didn't need very advanced options, I was looking for an alternative rather than paying so much for something I would use very little.

Best free photo editing software
It has been an overall good experience. It looked visually pleasing, easy to use and fast. I would recommend this to anybody who does requires a fast and easy way to edit his/her photos without the complexity that larger and slower editing software would require.
PROS
If you are looking for a light software for that does most of your major photo editing work for free then Photopea is what I would recommend. Now the thing that I like the most about is the fact that there is an online version of it. So if you are on the go, you could edit without having a computer on your person. I like that it is fast and simple. If you have used any photo editing software before it would probably be very easy to pick up photopea. I would recommend this software if your needs are like mine which are basically minimal photo editing.
CONS
I did not see anything that I would consider a con. but for a photo editing software to be that fast, I suspect it would probably lack certain features and functionalities that perhaps professional editors would want, so you might want to check first if it has what you need. because of the trade-off between size/speed & features/functionalities. However it is not an issue because I am not a professional editor. If I were to use it I would simply use it for my own gain. Other than that I don't suspect anything else.

My go-to website when I do not have Photoshop
PROS
When I had a low-end PC, I would use PhotoPea and it worked like a charm. It had all the needed feature and I would not miss Photoshop at all. Even with a higher end PC, I would use PhotoPea when I did not have access to Photoshop. So, PhotoPea is an amazing alternative to Photoshop which is lite and easy to use on the go.
CONS
Sometimes, the website can be slow but with the features it gives, we can not complain. It is amazing and nothing really bad to say about it.

Being into marketing, Photopea helped me edit images quickly. It has amazing photo editing, customized templates for every purpose, and PSD-making tools that accelerate my work process and help me deliver high-quality, eye-catching PSDs.

Till now, I have not faced any issues with Photopea. Everything goes very slowly.
