When Adobe Photoshop is the better choice
An honest alternative says what it doesn't do. Choose Adobe Photoshop instead if:
- You need to open, edit and save layered PSD files.
- You develop camera RAW files (use a RAW workflow, or convert RAW to JPG with the EditItAll converter first).
- You do CMYK / prepress print production.
- You rely on generative AI tools or the plugin ecosystem.
For everything else — the everyday 90% — the free, in-browser photo editor gets it done without an install, an account or an upload.
Frequently asked questions
Is EditItAll really a free Photoshop alternative?+
Yes — the photo editor is completely free, with no account, watermark, trial timer or usage limit. It is an independent product with a Photoshop-style workflow; it is not affiliated with or endorsed by Adobe.
Can it open PSD files?+
The photo editor itself opens PNG, JPG and WebP. To use a PSD, flatten it first with the EditItAll converter (Convert PSD to PNG), which decodes the composite locally in your browser, then open the PNG in the editor.
Are my photos uploaded to a server?+
No. All editing runs locally in your browser through a native-speed image core. You can load the editor, go offline, and keep working — nothing you edit is transmitted anywhere.
Does it support Photoshop keyboard shortcuts?+
The common ones work as you expect: V/M/L/W/B/E/G/T for tools, Cmd/Ctrl+Z to undo, Cmd/Ctrl+J to duplicate a layer, Cmd/Ctrl+L and Cmd/Ctrl+M for levels and curves, and more.
What is it best at, honestly?+
Everyday editing: cropping and resizing, retouching with the clone stamp, layered composites, color correction with curves and levels, and quick filter work. For professional print production, RAW development or generative AI edits, a desktop suite is still the better tool.
