No account, no registration, just pick up and use!

I highly recommend Photopea it's an alternative that works, with one compromise I feel, the 3D design feature, but I recommend it none the less!

PROS

Photopea is free to use either directly online or as a web application "installed" on your desktop. When on your desktop it's a web application and it does not take much space. You do not need to register or create an account. Just visit the website and your all set. What I found to be the best Photopea feature for me was that it's offline accessible, although to be able to access it you have to first start it while connected. Photopea works well, with no compromise on the quality of your work. When I first started with it I was a bit concerned about this, but it gladly proved me wrong and I use it for a lot of my design work. The other plus for Photopea is that its User Interface is similar to that of the leading photo editing and design software with virtually no learning curve between the two.

CONS

The only 3D design option that Photopea has is a filter and it is very limited. It would be nice if more 3D design features could be added. Alternatively developing the current 3D filter option to be able to keep the original colors of the artwork instead of the purple color that is produced would be great.

Reasons for switching to Photopea

Initially, I switched to Photopea because it's UI is similar and because its free. Now I am using Photopea because it's competitive and it works well!

My thoughts On Photopea

It Is Alright For What The Pricing IS It IS definitely worth it. As I said Before If you are a professional designer or artist I would advice to purchase Photoshop from Adobe orang company similar. if Not I would totally recommend it as it is free.

PROS

Photopea Is A Software I Would Totally recommend To people who are just Starting To Get Into Their Creative Side And Want A Photoshop However don't Have The Money. It Is Free And Essentially Gives You everything Photoshop Has. It Is Somewhat Simple To Use After You Get The Hang Of It. Love it For What It Is And The Pricing.

CONS

What I Didn't Like Was That It sent An App. Now I know For some People This Is A conHowever I Fell Like Being Able To Have A Software downloaded Is Easier To Use. I Don't Like That you Cant Close The Art or Project Your Working On To do Another One As It does not save and therefore you have to finish it before closing out. In my experience It Would sometimes glitch and I would lose all my progress which was a pain in you know. I Would Definitely recommendIt If you aren't a professional who would use it to get projects that have too be turned in at a deadline however if you won't go ahead and use it.

Reasons for switching to Photopea

It was Too Expensive and As I am Not Using It for Professional Use Anymore I decided to Get Photopea.

Perfect for beginners

This is a perfect software for beginners and helps alot when one needs something done very quickly. Does the job very well for simple not demanding tasks.

PROS

The ease of deployment and the accessibility is top. The low technical requirements is a main competitive advantage.

CONS

It does not work very well with all PSD files. Sometimes there is a problem with layers - they dissapear or are visualized in a different color. This is only for complex projects.

Reason for choosing Photopea

Because of the similarity with Photoshop. One does not need to make an account to use it. Just load and go.

Photopea for Good & Easy Editing Software

I had a great experience using Photpea for creating materials for our Facebook and Twitter ads. It helped me create all the stuff in a jiffy and without too much hassle. I like the pre made templates it offers, and also the little game section that it has. From time to time I love exploring those little games made by the creators of Photopea. I find Photopea to be really helpful especially for the beginners who can’t step into the world of Photoshop yet.

PROS

Photopea is one of the best photo editing software for the beginners. As compared to advanced photo editors it is easy to use to creating material from scratch. The best part is Photopea doesn’t even charge a fee, hence is the best option for designers who can’t afford expensive editing softwares. It has tons of features and pre made templates as well.

CONS

Photopea is an awesome software in my opinion for carrying out basic designing tasks in a jiffy. It can be a bit overwhelming at times while trying to find a specific option but other than that I am satisfied with what Photopea is offering.

Reasons for switching to Photopea

We had to switch because they were turning out to be expensive options for us.
