[Can PhotoCraft replace Photoshop?](https://photocraftonline.org/blog/photocraft-vs-photoshop) ## Before you open the editor. ### Is the online editor free? Basic image editing is free and does not require an account. Generative AI features are not available on this site. ### Are my images uploaded? Imported images are processed in your browser; this site has no cloud document storage. Download a new file to save your work. The website still makes ordinary network requests, described in the privacy guide. ### Can it replace Photoshop? Try it for a simple crop or image with text. For complex PSDs, print work or client delivery, keep Photoshop until the files and features you need pass your checks. ### Which browser should I use? Use an up-to-date desktop browser with WebGPU or WebGL2 support. The first launch may take longer while the editor downloads. Start with a small file; mobile editing and large PSD performance have not been verified. ### Does it have Chinese menus or Photoshop AI? The website and guides are available in Chinese; the editor keeps its original interface. Chinese text and fonts have not been tested here. Photoshop-style generative fill and desktop Agent/MCP tools are not available on this site. ### Is this the official PhotoCraft website? No. This is an independently operated host and guide library for the open-source project by storytold. Official code, release downloads and issue tracking are linked directly to that project. ## Tutorials and answers - [Edit PSD Online: Layers, Changes and Export](https://photocraftonline.org/blog/edit-psd-online): Learn a careful PhotoCraft PSD workflow: check the initial render, find editable layers, change text or imagery, and verify both a project save and image export. - [Is PhotoCraft Safe?
