Photoshop has expanded to iPhones, offering a free download with basic features, while a new “Mobile & Web” plan priced at $7.99/month or $69.99/year unlocks advanced tools. Android users can expect access later this year. Free features include image blending, selection tools, Spot Healing Brush, and compatibility with Adobe Express. The subscription offers advanced editing tools like Remove Tool, Object Select, and supports over 20,000 fonts. Users can sync files between iPhone and web, accessing more robust features online, including Camera RAW filter and Generative AI capabilities. Photoshop for web is now available on Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge.
Although Photoshop has been accessible on iPads for a while, it has finally made its way to iPhones today. If you’re using an Android device, fear not; Photoshop will also be available for your phone later this year. If you can’t wait, you can sign up here, and Adobe will notify you as soon as the Android beta version is released.
The Photoshop app for iPhone can be downloaded for free and comes with various features at no cost. However, to unlock additional capabilities, users will need to subscribe. For this purpose, Adobe has introduced a new “Mobile & Web” plan that is available through Apple’s App Store. As suggested by its name, this plan grants access to premium features on both the iPhone and the web.
If you already have a desktop subscription for Photoshop, you’ll automatically have access to Photoshop on iPhone and the web. Speaking of which, Photoshop’s web version now supports Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge.
Here’s what you can enjoy for free on your iPhone:
- Design unique images by blending, compositing, and combining them using core Photoshop tools such as precise selection tools, unlimited layers, and masks.
- Use the intuitive Tap Select tool to remove, recolor, or replace parts of an image after making a selection.
- Quickly brush away blemishes with advanced tools like the Spot Healing Brush.
- Leverage powerful generative AI tools, like Generative Fill and Generative Expand, to expedite complex edits, all safe for commercial use.
- Make intricate edits in Photoshop and transfer your cloud PSDs to Adobe Express and Adobe Fresco, or even modify Adobe Lightroom photos in Photoshop on your iPhone.
- Edit flexibly using non-destructive unlimited layers, selective adjustments, and the PSD format.
- Import and export images while maintaining file fidelity and image quality through full-resolution editing.
- Access a vast library of hundreds of thousands of free Adobe Stock assets for your projects.
The Mobile & Web plan is priced at $7.99 per month or $69.99 per year. Here are the additional features you unlock on your iPhone:
- Easily eliminate unwanted objects using the Remove Tool, use Clone Stamp to conceal unwanted elements by duplicating areas of an image, and fill parts of an image with content sampled from elsewhere using Content-Aware Fill.
- Make quick and precise selections with enhanced tools like Object Select, or isolate and adjust specific objects or areas using the Magic Wand.
- Control color effects and transparency while adding unique styles with Advanced Blend Modes.
- Explore a wide array of typefaces and styles with access to over 20,000 fonts or import your own.
- Export assets for various print quality and compression options, along with additional file formats (PSD, TIF, JPG, PNG).
Moreover, you can easily continue where you left off with files that sync automatically between your iPhone and the web. On the web, you’ll have access to “even more powerful features” like the “Camera RAW filter, shapes, layer effects, Quick Actions, generative AI features such as Generate Similar, Reference Image, and more.” You also have the ability to seamlessly add or remove content from images with Generative Fill and extend images non-destructively using Generative Expand. Additionally, Text to Image AI is included.
