Empowering the next generation of creators, the new app makes Photoshop’s go-to image editing and design tools more intuitive and accessible from your smartphone, helping you create without limits.

Oh, and as a reminder — the app is totally free! In other words, it’s the first time that image editing and design features and capabilities at this level of power, precision and control have been available for free in a single mobile app.

The all-new mobile app is complete with your favorite tried-and-true tools (yep, including the spot healing brush, the tap select tool, and the lasso tool). There’s also some powerhouse new offerings like access to Adobe’s vast library of Stock images and assets, and popular generative AI tools like Generative Fill.

Whether you’re a 9-to-5 creative professional, a collaging enthusiast, or an aspiring influencer, the possibilities for your creativity, and your actual dreams, are endless with the new Photoshop mobile app. Keep scrolling to learn more about the app’s cool features, what you can do with it and then give it a download to experience the creative magic for yourself.

1. Bring Your Vision Board to Life With Advanced Image Compilation

Ready to manifest your dreams? Vision boarding will help. Use the new Photoshop mobile app to compose image compilations to represent your career, wellness, and life goals in one fabulous collage to use as your existential North Star.

Start by choosing from the hundreds of thousands of Adobe Stock images available in Photoshop mobile to create an inspiration board for your home decor, your next fashion photoshoot, or your 5-year plan. Then utilize core Photoshop tools — like the lasso tool which allows you to select objects freehand, or the transform feature which allows you to manipulate the borders of an image — to combine, blend, and compose unique collages. Finish it off with a customized background (like an iridescent whimsical field from Adobe Stock), then let the ~universe~ work its magic.

Take your vision board a step further by seamlessly taking your Photoshop files to Adobe Express. Bring it to life further by adding animations, quickly customizing aspect ratios and seamlessly schedule social posts across multiple platforms through the Content Scheduler feature in Adobe Express. Again, all for free!

2. Create Authentic Content

Our favorite content creators — gaming streamers, podcasters, video creators, influencers — make the business of being yourself on the internet look easy, but it takes a lot of work behind the scenes to create content to build and engage an audience.

Photoshop mobile comes with all the necessary tools to design standout content with limitless creativity! From tools to help create podcast cover art to video thumbnails, fashion lookbooks to share on social and beyond – Photoshop’s mobile app delivers a multitude of tools like the spot healing brush, layers, and thousands of typography options to create unique content.

Take your content a step further by bringing your Photoshop designs into Adobe Express, where you can add animations, text effects and so much more. Then, resize for the various social platforms and use Content Scheduler to get ahead of those busy moments and publish directly to social.

You name it, Photoshop mobile helps you bring your creative visions to life across all of your image editing and design content with ease.

3. Streamline Your Workflow As A Creative Professional

Us 9-to-5ers know it well: that moment when you step away from your desk only to get a fire drill edit request on a visual asset. Cue the fight or flight response. As a result, we’ve all become way too used to lugging our laptops around with us everywhere, just in case.

Photoshop mobile allows users to make those quick edits from anywhere. Save your progress on any project to your Adobe account and pick up edits where you left off right from your phone. And for when you want to quickly jump online and take your edits a step further, you can use Photoshop on the web.

Adobe’s new Photoshop mobile and web plan gives you access to both mobile and web so that you can utilize even more advanced image editing and design capabilities. This includes everything from tools for precise selections, targeted adjustments, advanced color corrections, expanded access to commercially safe AI with Firefly-powered generative AI tools, full format support for opening and editing any Photoshop document and more. With Photoshop web you can also seamlessly collaborate with your co-workers using the live co-editing feature.

With seamless integration between the mobile and web experiences, creators can easily work on the same project across devices. You can also access and build upon your projects from other Creative Cloud tools including Adobe Express, Adobe Lightroom, and Fresco, then pick the work back up from your desk with Photoshop web or directly from your phone with Photoshop mobile.
