## Best for

People who need Photoshop-style editing on a locked-down or borrowed machine.

## Why it deserves attention

Photopea runs in the browser and opens PSD, AI, XD, Sketch, and Figma files, with layers, masks, smart objects, adjustment layers, and PSD export. It is free and ad-supported, and a paid plan removes ads for $40 a year, with no install and files processed locally. It covers most everyday Photoshop work, but performance depends on the browser and it lacks some advanced filters and plugins. It is a great emergency editor, not a full studio replacement.
