Photoshop is now available for mobile devices, with a new subscription plan

Editing photos on the go has always been a trade-off between convenience and features. With Adobe's release of Photoshop for mobile, that's no longer the case. Photoshop Mobile gives you professional tools without the need for a computer.

Adobe Announces Photoshop Mobile for iPhone

On February 25, Adobe announced Photoshop Mobile, its latest iPhone app. While Photoshop has been available on iPad since 2019, this is the first dedicated mobile app for the photo editing tool. As of now, Photoshop Mobile is only available for iPhone; however, Adobe will release Photoshop Mobile for Android by the end of 2025.

Photoshop Mobile is aimed at creatives who want to edit on the go. While it's a similar tool to Adobe Express for mobile, Photoshop Mobile is more focused on image editing (whereas Adobe Express is geared towards content creation).

Having the power of Photoshop at your fingertips could be a game-changer for the creative world. Not only do you get more of your favorite Photoshop tools, but you also get new features, connected apps, more affordable pricing, and access to them on your phone anytime, anywhere.

Outstanding features in Photoshop Mobile version

As you might expect, you won't find every desktop Photoshop feature in the mobile app. But there are features on Photoshop Mobile that aren't available on the desktop, nor are they available on Photoshop Web.

You can create Photoshop projects using your own images, starting from a blank canvas or harnessing the power of Adobe Firefly to create images. You’ll also have access to Adobe Stock from Photoshop Mobile, if you need stock images and can’t source them yourself. Free users can access this too, but paid users get access to much more.

Traditional Photoshop features like layers, selection tools, blend modes, and masks are all available in Photoshop Mobile. Photoshop Mobile takes advantage of Photoshop's marquee selection features, allowing for a variety of selection options, including Tap Select—exclusive to Photoshop Mobile—and more traditional selection tools.

Users will also find a number of AI features in the mobile app, including old favorites like Generative Fill and Generative Expand, but there are also reference images and a new AI tool for Photoshop Mobile, Generate, similar.

All-New Photoshop Mobile and Web Subscriptions

Along with the announcement of Photoshop for mobile, Adobe has included the feature in its latest subscription package: Photoshop Mobile and Web. This package includes both the Photoshop Mobile app and access to Photoshop Web — the browser-based version of Photoshop. While Photoshop Mobile is free to install and use, there is a Premium subscription to add features, including:

• Adobe Firefly features like Generate Similar and Reference Image
• Over 20,000 fonts from Adobe Fonts
• Access to the Object Select and Magic Wand selection tools
• Remove objects using the Remove Too, Clone Stamp, and Content-Aware Fill tools
• Advanced blend modes to control transparency, color effects, and apply unique styles
• Lighten or darken without affecting hue or saturation with the Lighten and Darken tools

Note : Photoshop Mobile and Web subscriptions start at $7.99/month or $69.99/year.

Photoshop Mobile and Web subscriptions include premium features for Photoshop Mobile only, unlimited access to Photoshop on the Web, and premium features for Photoshop for iPad.

Other Photoshop subscribers at various price points — like the Photography Plan or the Creative Cloud All Apps plan — also have access to Photoshop Mobile Premium.

Who is Photoshop Mobile for?

Photoshop Mobile is for the next generation of creators. Fewer and fewer people are using computers to do their creative work, while more and more creators are using mobile apps to get great results faster. Photoshop Mobile allows for unlimited creativity whenever inspiration strikes, giving everyone flexibility.

The combined Photoshop Mobile and Web subscription gives you the flexibility to use your laptop or computer if needed. The cloud allows you to access all your Photoshop Mobile files from the web, meaning no local storage is required.

If you use any other Adobe tools, whether as part of a Creative Cloud subscription or a solo account—like Lightroom Mobile or Adobe Express—you can also access those files in Photoshop Mobile and Web.

Adobe has been beefing up its mobile platform in recent years. Photoshop Mobile joins Adobe Express, Adobe Photoshop Elements, Adobe Lightroom, and Adobe Premiere Rush as part of a new generation of Adobe tools available in the palm of your hand. We’ve been waiting years for Photoshop on mobile, and it’s finally here. It’s awesome!
