It’s really no energy at all to just install Krita or Gimp to crop 5 images.
- Comment on photopea.com now locks out users blocking ads 18 hours ago:
I did suggest many things, from how to crop in Krita, using ImageMagick, that Gimp is fully capable of cropping (OP refused to use Gimp for that task because it’s “shit” in his eyes), how to look up open source alternatives on GitHub (I found a bunch, including a python GUI application running locally), etc.
OP made a many BS claims, by insisting that he needs batch processing but when suggesting to self host, he refuses this by saying that he’s only cropping 5 images.

The completely insane claim was “The only infrastructure I’m using is the bit of Javascript and HTML”, meaning one could just save the page and run it fully locally.
This is of course BS.

You claimed that I was uploading and batch-processing images on the developers’ infrastructure.
“Um, achtually I crop images only locally and loading up Photopea in the first place doesn’t count towards freeloading other people’s work.🤓”
- Comment on photopea.com now locks out users blocking ads 1 day ago:
there are definitely problems.
Of course there are but the claim was that Lichtmetzger only needs to crop a bunch of images and Gimp is 100% capable of that and I say that as someone who can’t stand Gimp any longer and moved to Krita and others.

Keep trolling
At least I’m not playing the victim when actually freeloading other people’s work and resources.
- Comment on photopea.com now locks out users blocking ads 1 day ago:
which is what woelkchen doesn’t seem to grasp
*whoosh*
I fully grasp it, I was just pointing out how insane your claim is that you don’t use their server resources by making an equally insane counter point.
That’s why all of the accusations that I’m freeloading and straining the developers’ server from batch-processing images are unfunded.
Yes, exactly this insane claim.

Today I’ve learned that cropping five images in a row is “commercial-grade”. Sure…
Today I’ve learned that you cannot use Krita to crop manually because you’re cropping waaay to many images and absolutely need batch processing but you also cannot self-host anything because “it’s only 5 images, man”.
Self-hosting is a good idea, though, if I can find some useful software in that field.

- *finds a bunch*
Huh…

Sir, this is not how the internet works.
Indeed it’s not. That’s why your claim that you can use Photopea without using their resources is BS.
Photopea does not use the developers’ server to do these tasks
Well, it uses the servers to do something and you refuse any compensation.
If I disassembled the obfuscated code and replaced those online references, I’m pretty sure the whole thing would just work.
Then do and host your own version.
- Comment on photopea.com now locks out users blocking ads 1 day ago:
I am not paying another high subscription (yes, 96€/year is high for some people) for a tool that processes images locally, no.
Then self-host a tool you need for your commercial-grade tasks.
- Comment on photopea.com now locks out users blocking ads 1 day ago:
As I’ve said in another thread, you can open up the site, disconnect your internet and process all of the images just fine. All of that code runs in your own browser.
Then disconnect your internet when ads load. Or save the page if “All of that code runs in your own browser.”

The only infrastructure I’m using is the bit of Javascript and HTML
If Photopea was so simple, you could just download the necessary parts and self-host.
It’s won’t work because there is actual server-side code running, meaning you’re hogging someone else’s resources to do your commercial-grade tasks.

I am mildly infuriated.
Calm down.
- Comment on photopea.com now locks out users blocking ads 1 day ago:
I am not financially supporting developers who act like this.
You were not financially supporting the developers before either. You admitted that you do frequent batch processing of many images on their infrastructure. If anything, losing you as a user is saving them money.
- Comment on photopea.com now locks out users blocking ads 1 day ago:
that is absolutely, 100% worth complaining about.
So commercial-grade batch processing of images on other people’s infrastructure and dodging any form of compensation is 100% worth complaining about? OK.
- Comment on photopea.com now locks out users blocking ads 1 day ago:
then acting entitled to use the Photopea author’s own personal work with zero compensation.
Running batch tasks on the Photopea author’s own infrastructure because Photopea is a website. Lichtmetzger wrote in a reply that he’s not using Photopea to edit a photo once in a while and now he’s bummed out (I would kinda understand that) but that he’s actually processing a big number of images on someone else’s resources.
- Comment on photopea.com now locks out users blocking ads 1 day ago:
Calm down.
Why would I be not calm? I’m not the one getting nervous at looking at other alternatives.
And now tell me how to batch-crop and export multiple images as .webp
imagemagick.org/…/command-line-processing.php
Use the right tool for the job instead of complaining.
- Comment on photopea.com now locks out users blocking ads 1 day ago:
It’s nice but I need something simple for cropping images in a certain aspect ratio/resolution and then exporting it to webp. I think Krita isn’t the right tool for that.
If you have trouble cropping and exporting under Krita, maybe using computers isn’t the right thing for you. It’s literally a single mouse click on this icon:

Isn’t this common? From what I know water damage isn’t covered under warranty by anyone.
It sounds like the water indicator stickers did not change color. But they said that water can still get in / water damage can occur regardless.
I also asked for a picture and they flatly refused that they don’t do that. – www.reddit.com/r/consolerepair/…/n1y1kga/
