Location: North Richland Hills, United States

Budget: Recommended by industry experts

Time to start: As soon as possible

Project description:
"I am looking for a skilled, reliable, and affordable developer (preferably overseas) who can help me complete a full web-based Photoshop/Photopea clone.

I already have the frontend UI built (HTML/CSS/JS), but none of the tools or features are functional yet. I need someone who can quickly implement all the core tools, image manipulation features, and canvas functionality to bring the app to life.

This is NOT a basic image editor — you must know how to replicate the real capabilities of Photopea or Photoshop in the browser.

Key Requirements:
You must be proficient in the following:

[login to view URL] or [login to view URL] (or equivalent canvas libraries)

Canvas API (HTML5)

WebGL / WebGL2 for rendering performance

JavaScript / TypeScript

HTML5, CSS3

Familiarity with Photoshop or Photopea functionality (you must know what tools they include and how they behave)

Bonus: Knowledge of AI integration for image enhancement (e.g., background removal, upscaling APIs)

Features to Implement:
You will be responsible for making these tools functional (examples, not exhaustive):

Selection tools (rectangular, lasso, magic wand, quick select)

Drawing tools (brush, pencil, eraser)

Clone stamp & healing tools

Layer system (blending modes, visibility, grouping)

Transform tools (resize, rotate, perspective)

Text tool (font, size, color)

Filters (blur, sharpen, hue/saturation, color balance)

Undo/redo with history

Import/export (JPG, PNG, SVG, PSD-style layers if possible)

All functionality must be browser-based and responsive. You will work with the existing frontend and hook in the tools.

Deadline:
Looking for fast turnaround (1–2 weeks preferred) for core tools to be working.

Budget:
I am looking to hire someone affordable but high-quality — this is ideal for overseas devs who know how to deliver professional work on a budget.

Please include your estimated timeframe, and examples of similar canvas/image editor work in your reply.

Bonus:
If this works out, we’ll continue working together long-term to implement advanced AI features, team collaboration tools, and plugin support in future phases.

Tools/Stack:
Frontend already built (React or Vanilla JS — will be shared upon hire)

No backend yet

Deployment will be done via Railway

You will only be responsible for frontend tool logic

To Apply:
Please include the following:

Links to similar web apps you’ve built (canvas/image editors preferred)

Your hourly or fixed rate

When you can start and estimated delivery date for Phase 1 (core tools)

Confirm you're familiar with building tools similar to Photopea or Photoshop" (client-provided description)
