Photopea vs piZap

Photopea is a browser-based editor for raster and vector graphics, with tools for image resizing, webpage design, illustration, and photo processing. Its editing toolkit includes layers, masks, blending, smart objects, adjustment layers, channels, paths, filters, and vector tools. It opens and saves PSD files and lists support for formats including PNG, JPG, SVG, PDF, AI, HEIC, TIFF, MP4, INDD, and Figma. Photopea also offers one-click background removal and image-part replacement from a text description. It says files are processed on the user's device and can still be opened, edited, and saved offline. Dropbox, Google Drive, and OneDrive can be connected optionally. Browser installation creates a homescreen icon but still runs the editor in a browser; a separate self-hosted package can run on a customer server or local network without internet access. The free editor has a free plan. School ad-free access costs $450 a year for the whole school. The self-hosted version is listed at $5,002,000 a month, paid a whole year in advance.
