Photopea
Has a free tier
Browser-based photo editor with PSD support and AI tools
Pros
- ✓ Runs in the browser with no installation and processes files locally, so images are not uploaded.

- ✓ Includes layers, masks, smart objects, adjustment layers, channels, paths, vector tools and filters such as Liquify and Puppet Warp.
Cons

- ✗ Performance depends on the user's own hardware, as the site states better hardware gives better results.
