What they are
Buffer
Buffer is a social media scheduling tool that lets creators and small teams queue posts for Instagram, X, LinkedIn, Facebook, TikTok, and more from a single dashboard. It suits solo creators, freelancers, and small businesses who want a straightforward publishing workflow without a steep learning curve. The analytics cover the basics but stop short of the depth that larger teams or agencies typically need.
Photopea
Photopea is a free, browser-based image editor that opens and saves PSD, XD, Sketch, PDF, and standard raster formats without any installation. Designers, content creators, and hobbyists use it to retouch photos, build thumbnails, and work with layered files on any device. It mirrors Photoshop's interface closely enough that existing PSD workflows transfer without friction, though ads on the free tier can interrupt focus.
