What they are

HeyGen

HeyGen generates studio-quality videos using AI avatars and text-to-speech voices, so creators and marketers can produce talking-head content without filming themselves. It supports over 175 languages and lets you clone your own voice and likeness. Teams use it for product explainers, onboarding videos, and localized content at scale. The avatar quality is impressive for scripted material, but unscripted or conversational styles still feel noticeably synthetic.

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.
