A great digital design software for those on a budget or who just don't want to work witj Adobe anymore. ----- ### "Photopea is perfect for people new to editing" — 5.0/5 > **Kathryn** | *18 March 2025* | Consumer Goods | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I was drawn to use to Photopea because it was free to use and great if I’m away from my laptop. I would describe it as easy for even a a novice. It does a good job with doing basic editing features which would be easy for anyone. > > **Cons**: Sometimes actions in the program seem. slow but that could also be the age of my computer or it needing to be rebooted for an update. Still a good idea to save your work frequently. > > Overall, its an easy to use photo editor for your basic needs. It’s editing interface is similar to other photo editors which allows you to quickly get started. ----- ### "Photopea review" — 3.0/5 > **Rene** | *22 December 2024* | Arts & Crafts | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: The wide range of tool selections. Also the ease of use. > > **Cons**: The worst thing about it was the text to image tools. > > I like it alot and use it along with sketch for my digital design needs. ----- ### "Photopea for junior graphic designers" — 4.0/5 > **Aroob** | *02 February 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's the best software I have come accross that is almost the same as Photoshop and it has a variety of tools. > > **Cons**: Sometimes it runs very slow, especially when you use paint brushes, the strokes are a bit slow and lagging. ----- ### "Basically Photoshop but free" — 5.0/5 > **Skyler** | *09 November 2024* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Photopea's interface is basically identical to Photoshop but it's FREE\! How can you beat that? It's cloud-based so you can easily access it from anywhere without the need to download software. > > **Cons**: I do not have anything negative to say about Photopea. It's been an excellent alternative to Photoshop\! > > I used to use Photoshop until I found Photopea. The interface is nearly identical and allows me to remove backgrounds, edit images, etc. EXACTLY as I would in Photoshop. It offers the same tools so it was a no brainer to make the switch when I was already trained on Photoshop. After all, it's FREE\! ----- Page: 1 / 6\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/202812/photopea?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/202812/photopea) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | ----- ## Structured Data
