Photopea: The Free Online PS That Made $500K a Year

Photopea has almost no marketing strategy (if any, it’s just periodic updates on social media), and most of its users come through word of mouth and search engines.

The developer worked on it for seven years, earning nothing for the first three, and only started making profit from the fourth year onward. By 2020, annual revenue reached $500,000.

The main revenue comes from website ads and paid memberships that remove ads, along with subscription-based premium features (such as integrations with APIs you might need).
