Photopea vs Remini

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.

Remini enhances photos and videos, with tools to improve resolution and colors, unblur and denoise images, restore old photos, enlarge pictures, and enhance faces and backgrounds. Its video tool can improve quality and size by up to 2x. The service also generates AI portraits: AI Photos uses 8–12 training images and produces portraits using model images, poses, and styles. AI Photos is available in the iOS and Android mobile app, while Remini Web offers photo enhancement. Remini also describes an API integration for adding its photo and video enhancement technology to another product. Access is freemium, with limited free use and additional benefits depending on the paid plan. Subscription offers vary by user and over time, so current prices appear in the app paywall rather than a fixed price list. Free trials are not always available, may exclude some tools, and can be used once. The maker says uploaded images and videos are not used to train its AI unless users opt in. For enhancement, uploaded and enhanced media is deleted one day after upload or enhancement, and face data used for enhancement is deleted immediately afterward.
