What if you do not have the opportunity or time to install Photoshop on your computer, and at the same time you need to urgently do some work in a graphics editor? For this purpose, there are many Photoshop alternatives that work through the browser. Today we have collected the best options for you. Let’s talk about them in more detail.
pixlr
Visually, it also reminds us of Photoshop. There are no adjustment layers. In addition, the application reduces the size of the opened images. Therefore, as a full-fledged substitute for Photoshop, it will not suit you best, but nevertheless, it will help to perform simple tasks such as changing the brightness, contrast, and exposure. You can try to do minimal retouching, but nothing more. There are also ads that can distract from work.
It is possible to retouch the photo, and even slightly change the shape of the face using the Plasticity tool. Although this functionality is not enough for professional retouching, unfortunately.
Pros
- High download speed. The sliders don’t slow down.
- Good functionality for photo retouching.
Cons
- Full functionality only for money.
- Image size restrictions.
- Lack of RAW support.
Fotor
This application is far from Photoshop, there are no layers or masks. Nevertheless, you can easily make adjustments to the image. It has a “Curves” tool, a built-in object removal tool, which somewhat simplifies and speeds up the procedure. There is also an automatic portrait retouching function.Â
There are a lot of ads here, plus the application itself is paid, but there is a free period, although it does not provide full functionality. However, if you need an application for one time, then the free trial version will be enough for you.
Pros
- Auto retouch function.
- Ability to batch process files.
- Intelligent photo correction modes.
Cons
- Full functionality only for money.
SumoPaint
It has all the basic functions for photo editing as well as drawing.
This application differs from all previous ones in that it is more focused not on photo processing, but on creating digital art. There are many brushes, functionality for drawing symmetrical patterns, and much more.
Pros
- Quick sliders.
- Good functionality.
- A large set of drawing supplies.
Cons
- Weak color balance and temperature settings.
- Limited number of formats to work with.
