Photopea
photopea.com
Free browser-based image editor that opens PSD, Sketch, and XD files.
Photopea is a full-featured image editor that runs entirely in the browser. It supports Photoshop PSD files, Sketch files, and most image formats. Layers, masks, filters, and pen tools all work without any installation.
Why it is useful
A genuine Photoshop alternative that requires zero installation and handles PSD files natively. The fact that it runs at full speed in a browser tab is a technical achievement.
