What it is

Photopea is a browser-based image editor with many features found in professional desktop design software. It can open layered Photoshop files, PDFs, vector graphics, and ordinary image formats. In normal use, the file is processed on the user's device.

Ways to use it

Ideas from real executive operations work. Take the ones that fit.

  • Resize and crop an image to fit a presentation or executive profile.
  • Open a layered Photoshop file and change one approved text or image element.
  • Remove a background before placing an asset in a briefing document.
  • Convert a supplied design file into the format needed for a document or website.
  • Save a new copy before closing the browser or changing the original file.

Our take

Photopea is useful for an urgent, limited image edit or file conversion when professional desktop software is unavailable. Keep an untouched source copy and use the organization's approved design process for recurring branded work.
