What it does
Photopea is a full raster and vector editor that runs entirely in a browser tab and opens the file formats you already have, including layered PSD, which is the reason most people arrive. For thumbnail work that matters: an existing template opens and edits without a desktop licence or an install. The interface deliberately imitates Photoshop, so the learning curve is mostly transferable knowledge. Files are processed in the browser rather than uploaded, which also makes it usable on a machine you do not own.
