In their own words
MyEdit
MyEdit is a freemium editing service available in a web browser and Android and iOS apps. It provides generative editing, layers and masks, and batch editing for up to 150 items. The Free plan costs nothing and includes 5GB of storage plus 3 free credits per day. Three other plans are listed: Audio Pro includes 360 bonus credits per month and 50GB of cloud storage; Creator Pro includes 500 bonus credits per month and 50GB; Studio Pro includes 800 bonus credits per month and 100GB. MyEdit is the maker named for the service, headquartered in New Taipei City, Taiwan, and founded in 1996. Browser access and mobile apps provide the same stated platform coverage, while batch processing handles multiple items in one operation. The service therefore combines generative tools and layered editing with a free entry tier and plans that vary by monthly credits and storage.
PhotoPad
PhotoPad edits and enhances digital photos and images, with tools for cropping, rotating, resizing, retouching, and adjusting color and exposure. Blur and sharpening controls complement its non-destructive editing: users can undo, reorder, or change effects in a layers list. It can also make collages, photo mosaics, calendars, greeting cards, and photo montages. The maker lists AI-assisted super-resolution resizing, object and background removal, and colorizing black-and-white photos. PhotoPad supports RAW editing and formats including JPG, GIF, PNG, TIFF, and BMP; HDR/exposure blending is also listed. A project can contain up to eight images, and panorama types include wide. Edited pictures can be uploaded directly to Twitter, Flickr, Dropbox, OneDrive, or Google Drive. It is listed for Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web, Windows, and as an extension. The free edition costs nothing and is limited to non-commercial use; no signup is required. Desktop requirements are Windows 7 to 11 or macOS 10.5 or later.
