Photoshop Tools You Already Know
The workspace follows Photoshop: tools on the left, panels on the right and the same menus (File, Edit, Image, Layer, Select, Filter). Shortcuts like Ctrl+J for Layer via Copy, Ctrl+L for Levels and Ctrl+G to group layers work the way your hands expect.
Layers, Masks & Blend Modes
Layer groups, layer masks, clipping masks, opacity and fill, and Photoshop's blend modes such as Multiply, Screen and Overlay. Convert layers to Smart Objects and add layer styles like drop shadows and strokes.
Open and Save Real PSD Files
Open PSDs made in Photoshop with their layers, text, masks and adjustment layers, and save them back as layered PSDs, including 16-bit, 32-bit and CMYK documents. Export PNG, JPG and WebP when you are done.
Adjustment Layers & Filters
Levels, Curves, Hue/Saturation and the other adjustments as editable adjustment layers, plus filters such as Camera Raw, Liquify, blurs, sharpening and noise reduction, rendered on your graphics card with WebGPU.
Selections & Retouching
Marquee, Lasso, Magic Wand, Object Selection and Select and Mask, then retouch with Content-Aware Fill, the Spot Healing Brush, Patch and the Clone Stamp, all running locally.
Text, Shapes & the Pen Tool
Editable text layers with Warp Text, vector shapes, and the Pen, Curvature Pen and path selection tools for precise outlines and clipping paths.
AI When You Want It
Describe a design and the AI assistant builds it as editable layers, split a flat image into a layered PSD, or regenerate a single layer from a prompt. AI features need a free Google sign-in and use credits.
