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!
PROSPhotopea 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.
CONSThe 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.
PROSPhotopea 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.
CONSWhat 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.
PROSThe ease of deployment and the accessibility is top. The low technical requirements is a main competitive advantage.
CONSIt 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.
PROSPhotopea 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.
CONSPhotopea 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.

PROSIt is really easy to use, most of the actions can be found with just one click. Difficult made easy.
CONSI found that there were some features that were missing but they were not essential and I could do everything I needed to do.
Reasons for switching to Photopea
It was a money decision. Our company did not want to pay for Adobe licences so we had to find another way of editing pictures

Photopea: a great and cheap alternative to Photoshop
Great tool for beginners with the same basic features as Photoshop.
PROSAmazing software for people just starting in graphic design. Free to use, it offers the same basic features as Photoshop, and is accessible to anyone whose computer doesn't have a lot of RAM.
CONSThe 3D design could use a little more features.
Reasons for switching to Photopea

my favourite photo editing platform
Photopea is an outstanding option for everyone looking for a trustworthy and intuitive piece of graphic design software.
PROSPhotopea's simplicity amazes me. Powerful and easy for novices. Photopea allows me edit photos with several tools and formats. Online photo editor Photopea is great! Resize, colour, trim, etc. It makes photo editing easy. I export edited photographs rapidly. I'm always updated. Modern, professional images. Photopea makes gorgeous photos online. It's easy and has lots of customization choices.
CONSThe free online photo editor Photopea is good. However, there are some drawbacks: Photopea slows down when dealing with large files.While rushing through a hard assignment, this may be frustrating. Users must be creative with edits and effects due to the limited presets and effects. The program's minimal UI is difficult to learn. Photopea doesn't allow image resolution selection while exporting, which limits projects.

Good things do come in a little package
I have tried several free and low cost graphics platforms, and Photopea has been the most versatile, user friendly, and photoshop-like platform I have found. There are some limitations in the free version, but if you are looking at using the general tools, it packs a good toolkit for creating artwork and rendering graphics.
PROSEase of use, general foundational tools available with free SW - ability to open existing PS files and layers.
CONSI found this SW gave me more than I expected from a free platform.

Photoshop wasn't working - went to the web
When I bought my new macbook pro and attempted to transfer my copy of photoshop to it from my old mac it just did not function properly. I then had my old mac that has been working like a champ still, slow but still working and it was doing fine. Just a few days ago it just would not boot up and I had to do an important graphic work for my website and I thought I was doomed. I went on line and looked up free photoshop options and found photopea and man it might as well be Photoshop - very awesome indeed - I got my work done and have had other projects come up and I believe I found my replacement
PROSThis might as well be Photoshop but online. I don't use photoshop for expert level graphic design but simple promotional items for events and things for my website and I was able to do the same thing I was able to on Photopea than I was able to do on Photoshop
CONSWhen I open up an image and I save or export it just saves with the name I initially opened up versus allowing me to do a true save as...

Your Photo Editing Bestie
Overall, the program is a suitable alternative for those who can't afford the more expensive photo editing programs. Although there is a learning curve, once you get the hang of where everything is it's pretty much smooth sailing from there.
PROSThe program allows you to maneuver around your workplace easily and makes identifying what you would like to fix or add to images a breeze. There are many cool features and it makes editing fun.
CONSThere is a learning curve to the program, like many others before it. It sometimes runs slowly depending on the size of project you're working on, so you have to be patient when editing and searching for its tools. Therefore it takes some time to get use to the program itself.

Best Free Photo Editor
My overall experience is awesome with Photopea. It is very easy to use and I can make good designs within a few mints even without having a high configuration computer.
PROSPhotopea is one of the best photo editing apps out there. It's clean, easy to use and offers great features! I've been using Photopea for a few months now and I'm really happy with it. It's easy to use, has a great interface, and is very intuitive. I love that it's so easy to use and that it has all the features I need. The best thing about Photopea is that it's free!
CONSAs it is an open source you can't expect high level premiumness like photoshop. And comparing Photopea with Photoshop is not justified at all.

Amazing Software
After learning how to use Photopea, it has been a fun way for my students to show their creativity. This software is a great way to bring technology into the classroom. One way to use it is to have students create a comic strip by photoshopping several photos. Students love to use technology and I love to see my students' designs.
PROSI love how you can edit a picture with this software. AND best of all, it is free to use if you don't mind ads. This has so many editing features included. You can zoom in and out to easily identify what you would like to fix or add to the picture. You can take away the background, which is a super cool feature.
CONSThis software has a huge learning curve. However, there are wonderful tutorials on the Photopea website that help you learn all the amazing features they have to offer.

the best free photoshop alternative
It's feature, interface, shortcut almost like a clone from Photoshop. That's mean, if you know how to use photoshop than you can use photopea easily, almost no learning curve needed.Because Photopea run on browser, you can use it anywhere as long as you have internet connection, oh and it's free (ads supported), you can subscribe to remove the ads, it's cheap thought.Fun fact: photopea created, maintained only by one man.
CONS- Because it's run on browser, some photoshop shortcut didn't work on photopea.- some feature such as magic wand, didn't perform as fast and good as photoshop.
