I started to use Photopea for making thumbnails for my videos and blog posts a few months ago but I wish it were more stable.

Sometimes it has network connectivity issues that prevents the app from working -- even if you download the "offline" app.

Like 2 days ago I couldn't add text to an image because the font list couldn't be loaded over the network due to the site having connectivity issues (and it doesn't work when offline). I had to resort to using gimp otherwise it would have delayed a video from being published.

Of all of the online or offline non-Flash image editors that try to replace Photoshop this one is my favorite. I hope it continues to get more developed. It lacks a lot of things but it's good enough for whipping together basic multi-layer layouts. Little things like being able to auto-center things vertically and horizontally by just dragging things around saves so much time. Also supporting Photoshop style layers for doing outlines and shadows speed things up.

Hi, I am the author of Photopea :)

Photopea is used by 120,000 people every. We rarely get reports about the site not loading correctly. We received one in June from a user from Malaysia. After some communication, we noticed that it worked well when he used his mobile data, and did not work only on WiFi, so probably the problem was with ISP.

If it happens again, just let us know!

This was on a wired connection in the US (75mb down / 25mb up). I'm not sure what was up but every other site worked and I had no packet loss anywhere else. I had a 7ms ping time to my gateway and <= 20ms to a bunch of sites I tested.

It's just photopea.com is down for me completely and that prevents the app from allowing you to use text since that depends on network loaded fonts.

It's actually still happening now every once in a while over 24 hours later. Like right now it took 2 minutes to access the program but it eventually loaded (this was due to the site having 100% packet loss at the time).

A few "is it down for me?" sites are reporting it down as well but it seems to be pretty spotty (sometimes they report up, sometimes down). I'm from the east US if it helps.

Is there any way you can have the program use local fonts when no network is detected? With the current behavior when there's no network you click the text tool and then it sits forever while the font selection window fails to load.

I usually check the accessibility at https://www.uptrends.com/tools/uptime. Now, it says that "it works everywhere" (e.g. it was loaded in 0.7 seconds in NY). 18 people are using Photopea in NY as I type this message.

Could you write me an email to [e-mail], and help me investigate it?

Sadly, if websites knew about specific fonts in your computer, it would be considered "fingerprinting" :( so browsers do not let us access fonts.

I'm getting 100% packet loss as soon as the connection reaches masterinter.net when I do a traceoute. Uptrends is also showing 5-10s load times for that domain.

I sent you an email with the trace results.

I used that site for the IRS e-pay yesterday!

Hi! Would it be possible to add something like GIMP's "Color to Alpha" filter to Photopea?

Same process works for Photopea.
