Now, view this in number in terms of images uploaded, shared, edited, manipulated, and downloaded.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What does it give you? A number that is not possible to calculate.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because the tech for recording, manipulating, uploading, and sharing media is so easily accessible, we perhaps take the technology behind it for granted. Now, tools for editing media are readily available and always at our disposal.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This inspired us to connect with<strong> Ivan Kuckir<\/strong> who built <strong>Photopea <\/strong>from scratch and has now been able to monetize his business through ads and a subscription model.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.photopea.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Photopea<\/a> remains free for all users since the day it was first published on the Internet. It helps digital photographers across the world in editing and manipulating images without paying anything in return. Simply put, Ivan has built a web photo editor which is both advanced and affordable at the same time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In our conversation with him, we tried to understand his journey of building Photopea single-handedly, how he has been able to monetize it while keeping access free for users, and what advice he has for tech publishers like him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_79_2 counter-flat ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents:<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #000000;color:#000000\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #000000;color:#000000\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/decrypting-ad-tech-with-ivan-kuckir-founder-at-photopea\/#Ivans_Journey_of_Building_Photopea\" >Ivan\u2019s Journey of Building Photopea&nbsp;<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/decrypting-ad-tech-with-ivan-kuckir-founder-at-photopea\/#On_Monetizing_Photopea_Through_Ads\" >On Monetizing Photopea Through Ads<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/decrypting-ad-tech-with-ivan-kuckir-founder-at-photopea\/#Thoughts_on_Third-party_Cookie_Demise\" >Thoughts on Third-party Cookie Demise<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/decrypting-ad-tech-with-ivan-kuckir-founder-at-photopea\/#Impact_on_Photopea_During_COVID-19_Onset\" >Impact on Photopea During COVID-19 Onset<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/decrypting-ad-tech-with-ivan-kuckir-founder-at-photopea\/#On_How_Photopea_Has_Evolved\" >On How Photopea Has Evolved&nbsp;<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/decrypting-ad-tech-with-ivan-kuckir-founder-at-photopea\/#Ivans_Advice_to_Publishers\" >Ivan\u2019s Advice to Publishers&nbsp;<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/decrypting-ad-tech-with-ivan-kuckir-founder-at-photopea\/#About_Ivan\" >About Ivan<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/decrypting-ad-tech-with-ivan-kuckir-founder-at-photopea\/#About_Photopea\" >About Photopea<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 id=\"h-ivan-s-journey-of-building-photopea\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ivans_Journey_of_Building_Photopea\"><\/span>Ivan\u2019s Journey of Building Photopea&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What we understood from Ivan\u2019s experience of building Photopea is that it\u2019s completely possible from any person with talent and determination to build a successful website that can be monetized through ads, thus keeping the Internet free for all while making sure that the publisher also continues to earn and have a sustainable business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><em>I made my first website when I was 14, and I graduated when I was 26.

This not only keeps the internet free but publishers can convert this into a full-time job. We see this with many large media houses who have a successful business through programmatic advertising and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/programmatic-vs-direct-deal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">direct deals<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This stands true for Ivan Kuckir as well who was able to monetize Photopea through ads.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><em>There are two ways to use Photopea.

These cookies have borne the burden of behavioural targeting by showing user targeted ads based on their browsing history.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But as all good but privacy-invasive things must come to an end, third-party cookies will also share a similar fate. Even though many solutions are underway, such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/google-privacy-sandbox-a-look-at-the-alternative-to-third-party-cookies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Google Privacy Sandbox<\/a>, most publishers and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/ad-tech-predictions\/\">ad tech<\/a> industry are still unsure on how they intend to survive this avalanche of a change.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We asked Ivan about the same and he said, <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><em>To be honest, I haven\u2019t read much but I know that some web browsers are trying to block <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/google-delays-the-phasing-out-of-third-party-cookies-until-2023\/\">third-party cookies<\/a>, or delete all cookies completely.

The initial anxiety caused ad revenues to plummet causing layoffs, closures, furloughs, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That impact has now subsided and thankfully, many publishers have almost recovered from the loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We asked Ivan about how Photopea\u2019s ad revenues were impacted during COVID-19. He said, <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><em>the earnings from advertisements dropped significantly.

Publishers already know how difficult it is to rank on search engines especially with a new website. We found that as a tech publisher, Ivan faced a similar challenge.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On being asked about how Photopea has evolved from being his brainchild to a website that gets immense traffic, he said <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><em>it took many years and thousands of hours of work. The traffic barely grew more than 20% in a month and there were no noticeable \u2018jumps\u2019. Half of my traffic comes from search engines and I want it to cross the 50% mark but it has been this way a year ago and even five years ago if I recall correctly.
