Why look for a Photopea alternative?
Photopea is a great tool, and many people use it daily. Common reasons to try something else:
- You'd prefer an editor whose source code is open and can be audited
- You want a GPU-rendered editor that stays responsive on large images
- You want a second option that opens the same PSDs when one tool struggles with a file
