Common questions
Is Photostr free Photoshop?
Photostr is a free photo editor that works like Photoshop, but it is not Adobe Photoshop. The editing tools are free to use, with no account, no download and no watermark on what you export.
Can I use an online Photoshop alternative for free?
Yes. Photostr runs in your browser and gives you the tools people look for in Photoshop online: layers, masks, adjustment layers, retouching brushes and PSD editing. Open the page and start working; there is nothing to install.
Can I open and edit PSD files online?
Yes. Photostr opens PSD files with their layers, groups, masks, blend modes and text, and saves your work back as a PSD. Some advanced Photoshop features may look slightly different, so keep your original file.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. Editing happens on your own device. Your pictures are not sent to a server, and the AI tools for background removal and subject selection download their model once and then run on your computer.
Does it work on Mac, Windows and Chromebook?
Yes. Photostr works in current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari. You can also install it as an app, and after the first visit it keeps working offline.
