Photopea (Online Image Editor)
If you are looking for a free web-based image editor that works like Photoshop, then Photopea is probably the web-based application for you. Since it's web-based, you don't have to install any software on your computer. It will run directly from your browser. Photopea allows you to edit Photoshop files anywhere that you have access to the Internet. It may not have all the features that Photoshop has, but it works great if you don't have access to Photoshop. You will feel comfortable using Photopea because it has a similar look and feel to that of Photoshop.
Photopea can open images from your Google Drive account if you install the extension from the Chrome web store. If you use Photoshop at school or work, you can upload your files to your Google Drive and edit them at home using Photopea. You can learn more about the tools and features of this web-based application on the applications website. You can also find several design tutorials to help you get up and running with Photopea. This is a wonderful program.
Since Photopea is a web-based application, you can add it to your menu by using Ice. Ice will give Photopea the look and feel that it's installed on your computer. I will illustrate how to add Photopea to your menu by using Ice.

Click on the Applications menu, highlight Internet, and click on Ice to start the application.
In a few seconds the Ice application will load. Make sure the Create tab is active in the upper left corner of the dialog box.
Enter the following information:
Name the application: Photopea
Enter web address: https://www.photopea.com/
Where in the menu? Graphics
Name the application: Photopea
Enter web address: https://www.photopea.com/
Where in the menu? Graphics
If you have an icon that you want to use to represent Photopea then click on the Select an Icon button and locate your icon. I will let Ice find the icon for me by clicking on the Use site favicon button. In a few seconds you will see an icon that will be placed in your Graphics menu.
Then select the browser you want to use. I highly recommend that you select Vivaldi, Chrome, or Chromium as the browser since the Pixlr Editor can edit photos in your Google Drive. After you select your browser, click the Apply button. Your icon will then be ready in your Graphics menu. You can now click the Close button to close the Ice dialog box.
Now lets check to see if the application added your new icon to the Graphics folder. Click on the Applications menu, highlight Graphics, and look for your new icon in the list. You should see the new Photopea in your list. My new icon is below the Peek application.

You can create a New Project, Open From Computer, or look at a Demo: pea.psd milk.sketch. I chose to open an image from my computer. I selected one of my wallpaper images to use as an example.
You can now edit or modify your photo using a variety of photo editing features. You can expand the sidebars on the right by clicking <> or collapse them by clicking ><. Collapsing the side bars a larger Working area in the middle of the application. The Toolbar on the left looks similar to the toolbar in Photoshop. You have a Top menu at the top of the application and it is full of features.
Anther example of expanding or unfolding a sidebar.
I quickly added some text to the image. You can add additional fonts by clicking File, Open.
If for some reason you want to remove Photopea from your Graphics menu, then run Ice and click on the Remove tab then highlight the program and click the Remove button. It will remove the online application from your menu.
I hope this was helpful to you.
Take care!
