The useful part

For creators who want a capable layered image editor without installing a large desktop suite or uploading their work to a server.

LibreLayer opens directly in the browser and keeps editing on your device. Work with layers, groups, masks, selections, brushes, text, adjustments, transforms, and familiar keyboard shortcuts; open common images, PSD and PSB files, and save editable LibreLayer projects for later.

Finding the right tool

Looking for a free Photoshop alternative?

LibreLayer is a free, open-source browser editor for people comparing Photoshop, Photopea, and other layered image editors without wanting a mandatory cloud upload.

It opens PSD and PSB files alongside common image formats and provides layers, groups, masks, selections, text, brushes, shapes, transforms, and non-destructive adjustments in a familiar workspace.
