How is TutuEdit different from Photopea?

Classic pro editing is on par on both sides — layers, masks, channels, adjustment layers, smart objects, layer styles, the pen tool with work paths and PSD read/write are all here, with the same shortcuts. The difference lies in three other things: TutuEdit can change one named layer of your canvas from a single sentence (say "brighten L2" and only that layer changes), and what it produces is a layered draft you can edit layer by layer; once you sign in your projects are saved to the cloud automatically, and then after you close the page the AI can carry on finishing that document in the cloud, and when you return you can step through the changes or undo them all with one click; and its cloud AI builds no models of its own — TutuAgent connects top-tier models and keeps swapping them, never locked to one vendor — and the chat and AI actions themselves need no sign-up, with free credits every day. On top of that, there are no ads here.

Can it open PSDs saved by Photopea?

Yes. TutuEdit supports standard PSD read/write and opens .psd exported by Photopea or Photoshop with layers preserved.

Do I need to pay or sign up?

Completely free — no signup, no install, just open the page. Editing and local features have no usage limits; cloud AI has free credits every day.

Are my images uploaded?

Not for editing itself. Like Photopea, editing and AI cutout happen locally in your browser, so nothing is uploaded while processing; while you're signed out your work stays on this device, and once you sign in it's saved automatically to your own cloud projects. AI actions marked with a cloud icon send the selected layer to the cloud, and when you chat with the AI assistant it takes a thumbnail of the canvas whenever it needs to look.

Photopea is an excellent browser image editor, but it defaults to English and its free tier shows ads, so many users look for a smoother alternative. TutuEdit offers the same core capabilities as Photopea — layers, masks, blend modes, selections, filters and color, PSD read/write — with a fully localized interface and no ads.

Like Photopea, TutuEdit does its editing locally in your browser, with no install or signup; nothing is uploaded while you're signed out, once you sign in your work is saved automatically to your own cloud projects; AI actions marked with a cloud icon send the selected layer to the cloud, and the AI assistant takes a thumbnail of the canvas when it looks. One-click AI cutout also runs locally in your browser here, for portraits, products and ID photos — a smooth switch from Photopea.
