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.

Compared with real Photoshop, what's missing?

Three things definitely: 3D; CMYK document mode and 16/32-bit depth (this is 8-bit only: RGB, plus grayscale / indexed color / bitmap / duotone modes; 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. (Vanishing Point is here: it's in the Filter menu, for perspective cloning.)

Do my images get sent to your servers?

Not for the processing in everyday editing — opening, editing, filters and export all finish in the browser, and the AI cutout uses a model that runs in your browser too, so the image stays on your machine while it's processed. What does send the picture to the cloud are the 10 features that need a large model: old photo restore, colorize, replace background, ID photo, upscale, beautify, decorate and de-age, plus Split into editable layers and Edit text in image; in the AI panel each carries a cloud icon next to its title, so you see it before you press. AI text-to-image and instructions to the AI assistant send only text; if the canvas already has content, the assistant takes a thumbnail when it looks at the picture. Separately, while you're signed out your work stays on this device; once you sign in, work in the editor is saved automatically to your own cloud projects.

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.

or start a blank document

The short answer is yes. Drag a PSD in and it opens with its layers, masks, text and layer styles intact (type layers first show the original pixels Photoshop saved; a double-click turns them into editable text; type layers inside a layer group can't be converted yet — move them out of the group first); export a PSD again and carry on in Photoshop. The whole editor runs in your browser — nothing is installed and no account is needed; while you're signed out images aren't uploaded, and once you sign in your work is saved automatically to your own cloud projects.

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 in the Q&A below; ③ what genuinely isn't here — no 3D (Vanishing Point is here, in the Filter menu, for perspective cloning); 8-bit only (RGB, plus grayscale / indexed color / bitmap / duotone modes), with no CMYK document mode and 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 — type layers first show the original pixels Photoshop saved, and a double-click turns them into editable text (ones inside a layer group need moving out of the group first); 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; processed locally, not uploaded while signed out

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 in

PSD, JPG, PNG, WebP and GIF are all accepted, and Ctrl+V pastes straight from the clipboard.
2
Work the way you already work

Toolbar 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 it

One-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
Export

PNG, 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. One thing to know, written here rather than left for you to discover: type layers first show the original pixels Photoshop saved — a double-click turns them into editable text, and ones you never converted go back into the PSD as pixels; type layers inside a layer group can't be converted yet, so move them out of the group before double-clicking.
