What they are

Gamma

Gamma is an AI presentation and content platform that turns a prompt, outline, or pasted document into a presentation, webpage, or document using a fluid card-based format rather than fixed slides. It targets marketers, educators, consultants, and small business owners who need polished visual content without a designer. Outputs publish directly as web pages or export to PowerPoint, PDF, and Google Slides. The free tier is genuinely usable for testing, but its 400 non-refilling credits mean most regular users will need a paid plan.

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.
