What Photopea actually is

  • Opens PSD, AI, XD, FIG, sketch, PDF and RAW, with full layers, masks and retouching (seen hands-on 22 July 2026)
  • Runs locally in your browser. Photopea's own homepage says files 'never leave your device'
  • Built-in Generate with AI, background removal and over 40 file formats

Limits and catches

  • An advertising sidebar on the free plan, and a consent dialog that names data sharing with 685 advertising partners
  • Premium at $5 per month removes the ads, raises history states from 30 to 60 and adds email support
  • It is a photo editor and a Photoshop alternative, not a social graphics and template tool like Canva. Multi-GB files feel heavy, because it runs on your own CPU and GPU

What does Photopea cost?

Free, and no account needed. The full Photoshop-style editor opens straight in the browser (tested hands-on 22 July 2026). It is funded by advertising: on opening you get a consent dialog asking you to share personal data for personalised advertising with 685 partners through the ad network azerion. You can choose 'Do not consent' and keep working, and a 'Change Consent' button stays on screen.
