Introduction
What is Photopea?
Photopea, a web-based graphic design and image retouching tool, was created by Ivan Kutskir, a 27-year-old graduate of Charles University in Prague. It was first released in September 2013 but it got popular in 2022. It’s a user-friendly and kind of combined version of many tools and looks like Photoshop but in a different way. This free editor allows users to design social media posts, banners, and mockups, and perform retouching using both raster and vector graphics. Compatible with nearly all web browsers, Photopea serves as a valuable alternative to Adobe Photoshop, offering a comprehensive suite of features for designers.
Designers really like Photopea because it’s good for fixing photos, making posts or banners, and other design stuff. It’s kind of like a free version of Adobe Photoshop, but it has fewer tools. We recently compared Photopea to Canva and Photoshop in an article—check it out!
Right now, Photopea only works on computers/tablets, not on phones. But they might make a mobile app in the future. So, if you want an easy and free graphic design tool, Photopea is a good choice!
