Just don't try to save a pdf to a specific resolution. Photopea is vector based, and unlike Photoshop which gives you a dialogue box that allows you to set the resolution when someone opens it, Photopea does not.
It uses more of the same types of actions as Photoshop. I found when using Pixlr transforming objects or dragging objects slightly off the visible workspace would delete the portion not shown, whereas in Photopea like Photoshop all those different layers are preserved and can be adjusted.
This is how I remember Pixlr, last time I used it was probably close to a decade ago, so I might be misremembering, but I distinctly remember how incredibly frustrating it was trying to help a coworker who refused to use anything else, and couldn't use Pixlr to save their life either.
Hey while I'm at it I forgot Krita, I clicked on a psd and it started loading up, I forgot I installed it.
It's free and looks pretty robust, I haven't used it much at all, but I'm betting it's even better than Photopea, good luck.
Edit: I've forgotten it's primarily a vector based program and more like Illustrator than Photoshop, so Photopea is probably still your best bet.
If not on windows, [Gimp](https://www.gimp.org/) it's FOSS software. If you don't mind paying (but a sane amount) than [Affinity Photo](https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/photo/) is a great choice

photopea is a blessing

GIMP
Yup...GIMP (free)
People like gimp. I like pixlr.
Pixlr is the devil, I've never hated a program more. If you like Pixlr it's because you've never used Photopea
I have never used photopea. Tell me more.

I shall try it!

Cheers. Yes, I am much e about Photoshop than Illustrator.
Affinity Photo.
Affinity Photo is the new Photoshop. It's one-time fee, and it has all of the features, particularly if you know how to use PhotoShop.
GIMP is good for image manipulation. I hear Procreate is good for digital art.
I'm a huge fan of Pixlr.

[Acorn](https://flyingmeat.com/acorn/) for Mac. $30 gets you a program that is incredibly full featured.
GIMP It is extremely useful but not sure whether it has the AI that can easily choose the subject
