Show HN: Photoshop Clone Built in React

24 chase-manning 5 5/25/2025, 7:15:31 AM github.com ↗

I built React Photo Studio, a free image editor that runs entirely in the browser with React and WebGL. Right now only the brush tool is functional for drawing, while the rest of the interface is a prototype awaiting development. Everything is client side, no backend.

I would appreciate feedback on usability and code structure, and I welcome pull requests.

You might like https://www.photopea.com (not open source), and https://chowderman.github.io/xp-paint.html which is open source at https://github.com/h53d/xp-paint

https://github.com/chowderman/chowderman.github.io looks to be the original repo for https://github.com/h53d/xp-paint then.

And the other is a clone of that repo which was reuploaded manually instead of using the “fork” UI buttons of GitHub. Which is fine and all. But better to link the original as the repo anyway.
