Photopea may not boast the same long-standing reputation as Photoshop, but these nifty hidden features really elevate its capabilities, making it a powerful Photoshop competitor.

Photopea was a standalone browser tool for a long time, but in 2024, the Photopea developer introduced Vectorpea — which is similar to Adobe Illustrator for vector-based design.

Photopea is a photo editing application that you use through your browser, but that doesn't mean it's basic. It's a true Photoshop alternative that won't cost you a dime.
