Adobe announced on Tuesday that it is launching its flagship design and photo editing software, Photoshop, as a dedicated app for the iPhone.
The move marks a significant expansion of Adobe’s creative ecosystem, offering both free and paid features designed for on-the-go use, while an Android version is slated for release later this year.
The new Photoshop for iPhone app retains many of the core editing tools found in its desktop counterpart - including layering, masking, and selections - but is reengineered for the smaller mobile screen. Free users can access essential features such as image blending, the “Tap Select” tool for removing or recoloring parts of an image, and popular removal tools like the “Spot Healing Brush.” In addition, the app integrates generative AI tools powered by Adobe Firefly, including “Generative Fill” and “Generative Expand,” and provides access to hundreds of thousands of Adobe Stock assets.
For those seeking enhanced functionality, Adobe has introduced a $7.99 monthly subscription plan that unlocks premium features. Paid users benefit from advanced capabilities like “Generate Similar” and “Reference Image,” access to more than 20,000 fonts, additional editing tools including “Object Select,” “Magic Wand,” “Remove Tool,” “Clone Stamp,” and “Content-Aware Fill,” as well as the ability to transition seamlessly from the mobile app to Photoshop on the web for added precision.
“We spent a lot of time talking to creatives and creators, especially the new generation who are very comfortable with phones, and we tried to understand their unique use cases on mobile devices,” said Shambhavi Kadam, Senior Director of Product Management at Adobe Photoshop. “We took that feedback and built it into the product to ensure it works really well for these users.”
Adobe emphasized that the app is built from the ground up with a mobile-first approach, designed not only for editing but also to support a wide range of creative projects - from digital art and mood boards to podcast art, album covers, fashion lookbooks, video thumbnails, and even memes. Additionally, the app integrates directly with other Adobe tools such as Adobe Express, Adobe Fresco, and Adobe Lightroom, enabling smooth cross-platform workflows for those who also use Photoshop on desktop and iPad.
Photoshop for iPhone is now available worldwide in the Apple App Store, marking another step in Adobe’s efforts to bring industry-leading creative tools to a broader, mobile-first audience.
