What they are
Loom
Loom is a video messaging tool that lets creators, teams, and educators record their screen, camera, or both and instantly share a link. It is widely used for async communication, product walkthroughs, and feedback on creative work. The free tier is genuinely usable, though video length limits and storage caps push most active users toward a paid plan fairly quickly.
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.
