On February 25, 2025, Adobe announced the launch of Photoshop on mobile devices, with the app now available for iPhone and a planned release for Android later in the year. This marks a significant step in expanding Photoshop’s capabilities to a broader audience.
The mobile app offers powerful image editing tools, including layering, masking, and Firefly-powered Generative Fill, all in a design optimized for mobile devices. With free and premium offerings, it is easier for both novice creators and seasoned professionals to use Photoshop on the go.
The new Photoshop mobile app provides users with advanced editing and design tools that were once exclusive to desktop versions. These tools include precise selections, color corrections, and full format support for editing any Photoshop document.
The integration between mobile and web platforms enables creators to seamlessly transition between devices, allowing for a flexible workflow. Photoshop’s web version now offers an improved user interface and better access to Adobe Stock assets, making it even easier for users to work across browsers like Safari, Chrome, Firefox, and Edge.
Empowering Professional and New Creators
Adobe aims to democratize access to its creative tools by making Photoshop more accessible to both professionals and newcomers to digital design. The app’s mobile version is built with creators in mind, offering advanced features like masking and blending to experienced users while also introducing beginners to Photoshop’s potential.
Whether creating vision boards, album art, or fashion lookbooks, the mobile app enables users to create high-quality visuals anytime, anywhere, without needing a desktop computer.
Adobe Brings Photoshop to Mobile and Web with Free AI-Powered Editing ToolsOne of the most exciting features of the new Photoshop mobile app is that it offers advanced editing capabilities for free. Users can now access core tools like layering, masking, and blending, as well as advanced features like the Spot Healing Brush and Firefly-powered AI tools.
These tools allow for rapid ideation, quick edits, and the ability to enhance images in real-time. With Adobe Stock integration and easy access to other creative apps like Adobe Express and Lightroom, users can create and refine their designs with a broad range of resources.
Introducing Photoshop’s New Mobile and Web Plan
The introduction of the new Photoshop Mobile and Web plan enhances the power and precision of the app. Users can now transition seamlessly between mobile and web platforms to enjoy advanced editing features like Object Select, advanced blend modes, and enhanced selection tools.
This plan also expands access to Firefly-powered AI tools like Generate Similar and Reference Image, helping users create unique visual elements. Additionally, more than 20,000 fonts are available, allowing for endless typography customization.
Adobe emphasizes responsible AI innovation through its Firefly tools, which are commercially safe and trained on content with proper licensing, including public domain content. Firefly-generated content is also tagged with Content Credentials, promoting transparency in AI usage.
The Photoshop mobile app is free, with additional features available through the $7.99/month or $69.99/year Mobile and Web plan. For users already subscribed to Photoshop’s paid plans, access to mobile and web versions is included, providing a comprehensive suite of creative tools across devices.
