Today, we’ll use a free photo editing software called PhotoPea. It has all of the features you’d find in expensive software, like Photoshop, but you’ll be able to learn the basics for free!

By the end of this activity, you’ll be able to apply the rule of thirds while cropping photos, adjust the colors and filter levels of photos, and create new layers to edit specific parts of photos.

For this activity, please use a desktop or laptop computer. Mobile devices are not supported.


  1. Click the Launch button below.
  2. Watch the video and edit along in Photopea!
  3. When you’re done, come back here and scroll down to the Mark Complete button. Click it to get your pins & points!
