The Photopea creator opened issue #77 on the eolix/PHOTOSUITE repository on Oct 4, 2026 to accuse the Photosuite project of copying Photopea’s work. The complaint states that Photosuite appears to replicate functionality from photopea.com, which the creator says has been developed since 2012, and demands that the project implement its own editor instead of “stealing” that work. The report also flags file behavior: the editor reads or writes PSD files so those files should round-trip with Photoshop, while noting the problem affects the editor rather than saved files.
The issue is labeled as a question and requests further information, but there has been no public discussion, assignment, project linkage, milestone, branches or pull requests attached. Reactions are unavailable and commenting requires signing into GitHub, leaving the accusation unresolved on the repository. The metadata and lack of follow-up indicate the complaint was filed but not actively processed by maintainers, so the repository currently contains an unaddressed allegation of intellectual property misuse without corroborating details or developer response.
