PHOTOPEA Charge (What It Is + Is It Legit?)

When Photopea processes subscription payments for its Premium plan, the billing descriptor is transmitted to banks simply as PHOTOPEA, which is a direct truncation of the company name formatted to fit the character limits imposed by payment processors like Stripe or Paddle that many SaaS platforms rely on. Because Photopea operates as a lean, independent web application rather than a large corporation with a separate legal billing entity, the descriptor closely mirrors the product name itself with no additional identifiers. If you see PHOTOPEA on your statement for around $5.00 on a monthly basis, it is almost certainly the recurring charge for your Photopea Premium subscription, which removes ads from the online photo editor and unlocks additional features.

No, this is a legitimate charge from Photopea. However, if you did not authorize this charge or cancelled your subscription, you may be eligible for a refund.
