Photopea is Photoshop in a tab. Social posts are not PSDs.
Photopea is remarkable: layers, blend modes, PSD compatibility, free. If you already think in clipping masks, stay. If you opened it because Instagram needed a 4:5 graphic, you brought a print shop to a flyer.
Amadezing trades depth for speed: AI generation, templates, remix, brand kits, background removal, motion, PNG, schedule. No layer comps. A phone-first canvas instead of a desktop toolbox squeezed into a browser.
- You should not need the crop tool to discover 4:5 after designing 1920×1080.
- Credits buy generation, not a plugin maze.
- Publishing is built in — Photopea ends at export.
- Honest converters: we will not pretend a filter gallery is a social CMS.
How to leave Photopea for weekly social (and keep it for retouch)
- Do heavy photo repair in Photopea if you must — clone stamp still wins some fights.
- Export a clean PNG or cutout and place it in Amadezing at the network size.
- Let FLUX replace stock you used to mosaic together.
- Typeset with kit fonts; do not rasterize headlines in Photopea “so they look designed.”
- Schedule from Amadezing. Open Photopea next time you actually need a PSD.
Who should keep Photopea open
Retouchers, composite artists, and anyone handed a layered PSD. That is Photopea’s home turf, and Amadezing is not trying to clone it.
Everyone else making Stories and carousels will finish faster in a social AI editor than in a free Photoshop.
Design it in Amadezing.
