The Photoshop tools most people use, free and in the browser.

Open the tool, it's free

Free · no account · no watermark · your files stay on your device

Clipabay opens and saves PSD files with their layers, text, layer styles, groups, clipping masks and adjustment layers. It has selections, masks, a pen tool, brushes with pen pressure, clone stamp, healing, liquify, warp and blend modes, plus AI tools: generative fill, expand, background removal, sky replacement and click-to-select.

Camera RAW files open in a develop window with exposure, highlight recovery, shadows, warmth and tint working on the real sensor data. Where Photoshop is still ahead: 16-bit editing, scripting, 3D and print colour management. If you need those every day, Photoshop is worth it. If not, you may not need the subscription.
