Adobe Launches All-New Free Photoshop App for iPhone

Adobe has just launched a brand new AI-powered Photoshop app for iPhone users, marking a significant advancement in mobile image editing.

The free app brings the renowned capabilities of Photoshop to the mobile platform. Creators can now seamlessly add, remove, adjust, and combine elements within their images, all while accessing an extensive library of free Adobe Stock assets to craft unique visuals without compromising on quality.

Adobe, however, emphasizes that this iPhone app is not a direct replacement for the desktop version of Photoshop. While the desktop application offers comprehensive tools designed for precision editing on larger screens, the mobile app is crafted to empower on-the-go creators.

To enhance the mobile editing experience, Adobe has introduced the Photoshop Mobile & Web plan. Available through the App Store, this premium subscription provides users with access to advanced mobile features and the web-based version of Photoshop. Both platforms are designed to ensure that files sync automatically for seamless transitions between devices.

The web version has also received significant updates, including a more intuitive user interface, direct integration with Adobe Stock’s vast asset library, and expanded browser support encompassing Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge.

Key features of the free Photoshop on iPhone app include:

• Advanced Editing Tools: Combine, composite, and blend images using core Photoshop functionalities such as precise selection tools, unlimited layers, and masks.
• Intuitive Tap Select Tool: Effortlessly remove, recolor, or replace parts of an image with simple taps.
• Spot Healing Brush: Quickly eliminate blemishes or unwanted elements from photos.
• Generative AI Tools: Utilize Adobe’s Firefly-powered Generative Fill and Generative Expand features to expedite complex edits, all designed to be safe for commercial use.
• Seamless Integration: Access and edit cloud PSDs across Adobe Express, Adobe Fresco, and even make adjustments to Lightroom photos within the iPhone app.
• Non-Destructive Editing: Maintain image integrity with unlimited layers, selective adjustments, and support for PSD formats.
• Full-Resolution Editing: Import and export images without losing quality, ensuring high-resolution outputs.
• Extensive Asset Library: Enhance creations with access to hundreds of thousands of free Adobe Stock assets.

The integration of Adobe’s Firefly generative AI further elevates the creative process. Users can seamlessly add or remove content from images using Generative Fill, extend image dimensions with Generative Expand, and generate new assets through Text to Image functionalities.

The Photoshop Mobile & Web plan is available for purchase through the App Store at a monthly rate of $7.99 or an annual fee of $69.99. Existing Photoshop desktop subscribers automatically receive access to Photoshop on iPhone.
