I was running www.Photopea.com with 10M page views a month for $40 a year.
Now, I upgraded to $60 a month. I never used any CDN.
- IvanK_net 5y agoI would love to use a CDN. But I am afraid of things I do not fully understand, and I am afraid of making things too complex. If I update a single file, how long it takes until nobody in the world can access the old version anymore? Does it take seconds / minutes / hours? Also, some files should not be cached at all (like PHP requests). I am afraid it would take me days or weeks to learn everything and to cofigure the CDN properly, and I am risking being offline for a part of the world during that time. Also, if there is a problem at the CDN, my website would be broken, too. If someone could help me, you can write me at support@photopea.com
- TheRealSteel 5y agoEver since MacOS broke Gimp I use Photopea regularly! Fantastic site!
- aasasd 5y agoPlease tell more about this ‘MacOS broke Gimp’ thing, because it's the first time I hear of that and I'd like to dodge a firsthand experience.
- metadat 5y agoI used it successfully on my Mac last week. It's still GIMP (bleh!) but it works.
- undefuser 5y agoYou can consider Affinity Photo
- ibic 5y agoSame suggestion, purchased during the last Christmas sales period. PS’s price is out of my reach as a non-professional user.
- windexh8er 5y agoAll of the Affinity products are top notch. I wanted a simple vector tool and ended up liking Affinity Designer so much I picked up a course to learn it more in-depth. The best part is their pricing model doesn't suck, so I'm happy to pay for their wares.
- dgellow 5y agoWhich course did you take?
- windexh8er 5y agoIt was an iPad specific course on Udemy [0] a couple years ago. Looks like it hasn't been updated in a while, but it was great for what I was after.

- sp332 5y agoIn November 2020, Gimp 2.10.14 didn't work well or at all on Big Sur. The issues got workarounds and bugfixes, but there are still complaints about performance. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/5917 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/5917
- aasasd 5y agoThanks for the straightforward answer.
- PragmaticPulp 5y ago> I was running www.Photopea.com with 10M page views a month for $40 a year. > Now, I upgraded to $60 a month. I never used any CDN. Why not go back to the $40/month plan and spend $20/month on Cloudflare Pro? I was able to load photopea.com in about 5000ms, uncached. That's not terrible, but it was slow enough that I wondered for a few seconds if the site was broken. A CDN would cut that load time massively, and it wouldn't even be a net cost increase because you could downsize your server.
- metadat 5y agoHonest question: Why is everyone pushing CentralizedFlare pro so hard in this thread?
- tick_tock_tick 5y agoCause it solves real issues for dirt cheap.... I mean really cold cache from the above user is at 5000ms that's pretty horrible. When I tried I got 2800ms. Take a look around it seems to be mostly from fetching static content which is a classic problem CDNs solve.
- metadat 5y agoGot it, yeah, web-tier caching is annoying to do yourself. Cheers and thank you kind sir or madam!
- bawolff 5y agoIt doesn't have to be annoying, just easier. People have been citing $30/month. Even if you value your time at min wage, its probably still cheaper than setting up your own varnish (and that's assuming you don't care about improving the last little bit of latency with geo located edge servers)
- ignoramous 5y ago> Cause it solves real issues for dirt cheap... One doesn't even need pro. In our use, Cloudflare's pages.dev and workers.dev serves single-digit TB traffic with triple-digit million hits at $30/mo. We pay $0/mo for origin servers since there aren't any.
- jjcm 5y agoJust wanted to say that I’ve been a Photoshop user since 4.0, but in the last year I’ve found myself loading photopea more than loading photoshop. Fantastic product. My main reason is purely the load speed - I can get a basic file up and running far faster. Great work on it - I’m a big fan!
- celim307 5y agoWow I’ve been using photopea forever and I’m a little starstruck to see you in the comments. Wanna say thank you for all the years your tool helped me
- fajarsiddiq 5y agoi love photopea! helps me a lot when i share this with my client who have no photoshop or illustrator
- recursivedoubts 5y agoyou, sir, are an absolute legend
- mmahemoff 5y agoLooks good. FYI I tried to bookmark it with cmd-D, but the app has hijacked that combo!
- IvanK_net 5y agoThanks! I wish we could detect all browser shortcuts, see https://twitter.com/ivankutskir/status/1422671831006392329 https://twitter.com/ivankutskir/status/1422671831006392329
