Photoshop has become synonymous with image editing in general. It lets you manipulate an image in any way you want, whether you want to fix a minor blemish or create something new out of nothing. But all this comes at a steep subscription, not everyone wants to pay, as there are other options out there. That's why we've compiled a list of the best Photoshop alternatives you should try.

The tools mentioned in this list are added based on their price, how much value they offer for them, and their popularity in the image editing community. With that being said, let's take a look at this list.

Photopea is one of those tools that you don't even need to download to use it. It offers an identical experience to Photoshop right from your browser. And you won't miss any of the essential features as it comes with layers, masks and selection tools. It can even open and save files in PSD (Photoshop's native format).

But you have to note that it doesn't feel as optimized as Photoshop which is obvious because it runs on top of your browser. Photopea is a free tool and yet has no ads in the interface, at least to the extent we've used it. However, I feel it is best suited for doing quick online edits. But the number of functions allows you to do more if you want. Pros Free online editing tools Closing the tab will result in loss of project interface similar to Photoshop Starts up too slowly while heavy editing Supports PSD file format lets you do vector art too
