Photoshop-compatible image editor that runs in browsers
Podcast hosting with built-in monetization and distribution
What they are
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.
Podbean
Podbean is a podcast hosting platform that handles storage, distribution to major directories, and listener monetization from a single dashboard. Independent podcasters and small media teams use it to publish episodes, grow an audience, and earn revenue through ads, patron subscriptions, or premium content. The platform covers the full workflow well, though its analytics are less detailed than dedicated analytics tools and the free tier was removed, making it a paid commitment from day one.
