OnlinePSDEditor
Open the editor
A free Photoshop alternative that runs in your browser
OnlinePSDEditor is a layer-based image editor with the tools, menus and shortcuts you already know from Photoshop. It opens and saves PSD files, runs on any computer with a modern browser, and costs nothing. Your images are edited on your device and never uploaded.
Familiar from the first click
The menus follow the same layout (File, Edit, Image, Layer, Select, Filter, View, Window) and the common shortcuts work as expected: V Move, B Brush, J healing tools, Ctrl+L Levels, Ctrl+U Hue/Saturation, Ctrl+Z to undo and Ctrl+S to save a PSD. On a Mac, use ⌘ instead of Ctrl.

Where Photoshop is still ahead
OnlinePSDEditor covers everyday photo editing and design work, but it is not a full replacement for every workflow. Images are edited in 8-bit RGB, so there is no CMYK, 16/32-bit editing or color management for print. There are no generative AI tools, 3D, video timelines or third-party plugins. If you rely on those, keep Photoshop for that part of the job; for opening, fixing and exporting PSDs anywhere, this editor is enough.
Why people use it
- No install, no account. Open the page and start working, on Windows, macOS, Linux or ChromeOS.
- Private by design. Files are processed locally in your browser and never sent to a server.
- Works offline. Install it as an app and keep editing without an internet connection. Your work is autosaved in the browser.
- Touch friendly. Pinch to zoom and two-finger pan on tablets and touch screens.
