When you open the editor, your browser downloads it from our server, about 11 MB the first time, and keeps it in its cache for later visits. The editor then runs inside the browser tab as WebAssembly, drawing with WebGPU, or with WebGL2 when WebGPU isn't available.

Files you open are read from your disk by the browser and edited inside the tab. They're never uploaded. The editor only asks our server for its own files, and it has no telemetry, update checks or error reporting. When you save or export, the result downloads to your computer. Your preferences, shortcuts and brushes are stored in your browser, on your device. The privacy policy explains each of these points.

We'd rather you know before you start:

• No AI. There are no generative or AI tools. Selections and Remove Background (in the Properties panel, under Quick Actions) use classic algorithms, and Remove Background works best on simple backgrounds.
• Two fonts. On the web, text can use Inter or JetBrains Mono, not the fonts on your computer.
• Not for phones. It's built for a keyboard and a mouse or pen, and touch support is basic.
• No offline mode and no autosave. It needs a connection to load, and unsaved work is lost if the tab closes.
• No pasting images from other apps. You can paste text, but not images copied elsewhere, and nothing copies out of the editor.
• No batch processing, cloud storage, accounts, collaboration or templates.
• Some formats don't open: PDF, AI, EPS, AVIF and JPEG XL. Canon CR3 files open only as their built-in preview.
• One thread. Heavy steps on large files can freeze the tab for a few seconds.

On October 17, 2026, we ran the editor through more than 40 browser sessions, opening and saving real files. The tests ran in Chromium on a server, with software rendering, which is slower than a normal computer. This is what we checked:

• PSD files: 21 real files, 15 from a public collection of PSD test files and 6 made with Photoshop. All 21 opened, and between them they had groups, pixel and vector masks, clipping masks, adjustment and fill layers, text, embedded and linked smart objects, smart filters, all ten layer styles and artboards. A PSD saved by the editor reopened with its text layers and layer styles.
• PSB files: three small ones opened with their layers, groups and clipping masks. Saving one downloads a PSD.
• HEIC and HEIF: sample files in 8 and 10 bits, with transparency, including two stored as tiles, one of them encoded by Apple. One was exported to JPG from start to finish.
• Camera RAW: Canon CR2, Nikon NEF, Sony ARW, a Canon DNG and an iPhone 12 Pro ProRAW DNG opened at full resolution in 16 bits through the Camera Raw dialog. A Canon CR3 opened as its embedded JPEG preview. A Nikon NEF went all the way through Camera Raw and Export As… to a JPG. More on opening RAW files online.
• Other formats: TIFF, BMP, TGA, PNG and WebP opened; GIF opened its first frame; SVG opened as shapes without its text. Affinity Designer, Paint.NET and Krita documents opened with their layers.
• Exports: PNG, JPG, WebP, TIFF, TGA and ICO all downloaded correctly, with no watermark. Layer > Quick Export as PNG downloaded just the selected layer, trimmed to its content, with transparency. In a JPG, transparent areas came out white.
• Editing: we added Curves and Levels adjustment layers and a Solid Color fill layer, applied Image > Adjustments > Levels… and Curves… to a layer, and cropped an image with the Crop Tool. Changes to the Levels and Curves layers of a PSD were still there after saving it and reopening it in the editor.
• Layers and masks: we created, renamed, reordered, grouped, merged and hid layers, and compared Merge Visible with Flatten Image; added, painted, inverted, applied and deleted layer masks, made them from a selection and changed their Feather and Density; limited a Curves adjustment layer with its mask; made a clipping mask; and saved a transparent PNG as a PSD that reopened identical.
• Smart objects and transforms: we edited the contents of a smart object, also after giving it perspective, with an image copied from another document, exported the result as a JPG and reopened the saved PSD with the smart object intact. We scaled and rotated a layer with Edit > Free Transform.
• Large files: a 4000 × 3000 pixel TIFF opened, and with three layers it saved as a 98 MB PSD in about 7 seconds. That PSD reopened and exported a 28 MB PNG in about 6 seconds. Duplicating one of those layers froze the tab for about 5 seconds.
• Stability: no JavaScript errors and no editor crashes across the sessions.

Not tested yet: Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari on real computers, keyboard shortcuts on a Mac, a Chromebook, a large commercial mockup, reopening our PSD files in Photoshop, a 12-megapixel iPhone photo with an HDR gain map, editing PSD text in fonts other than Inter, PSD files of 500 MB or more, and Affinity Photo files. Where a page mentions one of these, it says we haven't tested it.

• October 18, 2026: when you open a file from PSD to JPG or HEIC to JPG, the Export As window now opens set to JPG.
