Photopea is a free photo editing tool that runs entirely in your web browser. You do not need to download or install anything, and you do not need to create an account. Go to photopea.com, and you can start editing photos straight away.
Photopea's interface looks very similar to Adobe Photoshop, so if you have used Photoshop before, you will find it familiar. If you have not used Photoshop, do not worry — this guide covers the most useful basic functions for everyday photo editing.
With Photopea you can crop and resize photos, remove or change a background, adjust brightness and color, add text to images, remove blemishes or unwanted objects, and combine multiple images. These are the tasks most people need for personal projects like creating greeting cards, editing photos before printing, or making simple graphics.
Photopea is free, but it does show small advertisements at the side of the screen. These are not intrusive and you can ignore them. There is a paid option to remove ads, but it is entirely optional.
One important thing to know: Photopea does not automatically save your work. When you are done editing, you need to export your file using the File > Export As menu. If you close the browser tab without exporting, your changes will be lost. It is a good idea to save frequently by exporting as you go.
Photopea works on Mac, Windows, Chromebook, and iPad. On a phone, the screen may be too small to work comfortably, so a computer or tablet is recommended.
