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.
Publer
Publer is a social media scheduling tool that covers publishing, analytics, and AI-assisted caption writing across platforms including Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and Pinterest. It suits solo creators, agencies, and small teams who manage multiple accounts. The free plan is genuinely usable but limits the number of connected accounts, and the pricing climbs noticeably once you add team members or workspaces.
