What they are

Murf

Murf converts text into studio-quality voiceovers using a library of AI voices across multiple languages and accents. Creators, instructional designers, and marketers use it to produce narration for videos, courses, and presentations without recording equipment. Voice quality is noticeably better than older text-to-speech tools, though expressive emotional range still falls short of a skilled human narrator.

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.
