FireAlpaca is a very simple image editing tool that allows you to modify your photos from a much more accessible interface than most competitors like GIMP and Photoshop. Therefore, the number of tools we have at our disposal is certainly limited. However, it has enough features to retouch images without problems using elements such as layers, magic wands, and gradient brushes.

The application also has many keyboard shortcuts (some of which are known to Photoshop users) to help you navigate the program’s interface comfortably. The somewhat limited number of possibilities also works in your favor when it comes to learning all the important shortcuts.

FireAlpaca is a great alternative within an image editor because it’s extremely lightweight and completely free, as well as providing enough quality to process virtually any photo.
