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 support@photopea.com, 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.

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

Same process works for Photopea.
