Review Summary

Photopea reviews are mixed. Many users praise its feature-richness and close resemblance to Photoshop, particularly its free offering. However, a significant number report performance issues like lag, crashing, and loading times, making it unusable for some. Frequent ads are another common complaint. While some find it frustrating to learn, others appreciate its affordability and value as a free tool. Ultimately, success with Photopea depends on individual needs and tolerance for potential technical difficulties.

I only do basic stuff that requires more than ms paint, cropping images, changing resolution and saving with reduced quality. Not going to pay the ripoff adobe prices for this. Takes up a lot less room and less resources than the full programs too and having web based is ultra convenient.
All the negative reviews - mate if you're doing artworking taking hours - just sign up to a full desktop suite or go back to paper.

Don't listen to the doughnuts

Whoever has given Photopea bad reviews is either a sh*te editor or just doesn't know how to use it - go use PAINT you doughnuts.

TIP: Learn how to use *Photoshop* on YouTube and you'll find all the tools are available on Photopea - some tools may be in different sections (like magic eraser).

I've used Photoshop before and so have learnt how to use tools and shortcuts while editing. I can say Photopea is pretty much 90% Photoshop! I use the same keyboard shortcuts to navigate my way around.

I have had no issues with saving .psd files and guess what... I haven't made any account or paid a single penny to Photopea!

Like alot of people, I just couldn't be bothered to do the whole free trial of Adobe Cloud etc.

Spent about an hour looking online for a free pdf editor, got fairly frustrated, then I looked up image editors and Photopea came up, instantly edited my pdf and solved my problem in less than 5 minutes.

Best - AS GOOD AT PHOTOSHOP

This website is ONLINE and almost as good as photoshop. All of the one-star reviews are because of their bad computer or internet speed which photopea can do nothing about. IT'S GREAT. BEEN USING SINCE 2019!

This is great especially when you need to do basic photo cropping and editing and look at simple .psd, .ai files. Paid for the ad free version which is far worth it than what you pay for Adobe CC. Great for people on a budget.
