Photoshop online: same shortcuts, PSD in and out, nothing to install
If you know Photoshop you know this. V move, M marquee, B brush, Ctrl+J duplicate layer — all the same.
The short answer is yes. Drag a PSD in and it opens with its layers, masks, text and layer styles intact; export a PSD again and carry on in Photoshop. The whole editor runs in your browser — images aren't uploaded, nothing is installed, no account is needed.
This page won't list how many features there are. It answers the three things a Photoshop user actually asks: (1) do the reflexes carry over — yes, the shortcuts are laid out to match Photoshop; (2) does a PSD survive the round trip — layer structure, masks, text and the common layer styles do, with the specific exceptions written out below; (3) what genuinely isn't here — no 3D and no Vanishing Point; documents are 8-bit RGB only (no CMYK document mode, no 16/32-bit); and there is one artboard per document rather than Photoshop's artboard manager. For those three, you still need Photoshop.
Key features
The shortcuts are laid out to match Photoshop
V move, M marquee, B brush, E eraser, T type, L lasso, W magic wand, C crop, I eyedropper, H hand; Ctrl+Z undo, Ctrl+Shift+Z redo, Ctrl+J duplicate layer, Ctrl+G group, Ctrl+E merge down, Ctrl+D deselect, Alt+Backspace fill with foreground, X swap colours. Nothing to relearn.
PSD goes in and comes back out
Opening keeps the layer structure, masks, text and the common layer styles; what you export is a real PSD that Photoshop picks up and carries on with. Not a one-way "flatten it and hand back an image" conversion.
One layered document, not a pile of separate gadgets
Selections, masks, adjustment layers, layer styles, blend modes and smart objects all live in the same document model. That is what separates it from single-purpose tools like compress or crop, and it is what a Photoshop user cares about most when switching.
Nothing to install, no account, images stay put
Open the page and work. Everything local — painting, selections, filters, export — runs in your browser without an account. Only a few cloud AI features touch the network, and those are marked as such in the interface.
How to use
- 1 Drag your file inPSD, JPG, PNG, WebP and GIF are all accepted, and Ctrl+V pastes straight from the clipboard.
- 2 Work the way you already workToolbar on the left, layers panel on the right, menus across the top — laid out like Photoshop, with the same shortcuts.
- 3 Reach for the AI when you want itOne-click cutout runs locally in your browser (the image doesn't leave). Generative features run in the cloud, and the interface tells you before you use one.
- 4 ExportPNG, JPG or WebP at the artboard's size — or save back to PSD and take the layers to Photoshop.
FAQ
- Is there really nothing to download?
- Nothing. It's a web page: open it and work, no account either. It also opens on a phone browser, though the screen is small and precise work is easier on a computer.
- Will my PSD lose anything when it opens?
- Layer structure, masks, text and the common layer styles survive. Three known simplifications, written here rather than left for you to discover: overlays can't be stacked (colour, gradient and pattern overlay — one at a time); on a rotated object, layer styles fall back to a rasterised version instead of being recomputed live; and paragraph indents and space before/after aren't there (the underlying text engine can't do them, and a fake version would be worse than none).
- Compared with real Photoshop, what's missing?
- Three things definitely: 3D and Vanishing Point; CMYK document mode and 16/32-bit depth (this is 8-bit RGB; CMYK exists only as an adjustment); and artboard management (one artboard per document). Content-aware fill here is a local approximation rather than Photoshop's PatchMatch, so it does less well on complex textures. For any of those, go back to Photoshop.
- Do my images get sent to your servers?
- Not for local work — opening, editing, filters and export all finish in the browser. The one-click cutout uses a model that runs in your browser too, so the image still doesn't leave. Only features that must run in the cloud, such as AI generation and scene editing, send anything, and they're labelled in the interface so you know before you press.
