Adobe unveils first-ever Photoshop app for iPhone

Adobe has launched its first dedicated Photoshop app for iPhone, expanding its flagship image-editing software to mobile devices. The new app, which is available globally starting today, integrates Firefly AI-powered tools for object selection, editing, and effects. An Android version is expected later in the year.

The mobile version retains core Photoshop capabilities such as layering, masking, and selection tools while incorporating AI-driven features like Generative Fill and Generative Expand. These tools allow users to add, remove, and edit elements in images with minimal effort. The app also includes Object Select for precise cutouts, Spot Healing Brush for quick retouching, and seamless integration with other Adobe applications like Lightroom and Fresco.

Adobe is offering two pricing tiers: a free version with full on-device editing tools but without cross-platform support, and a premium plan at $7.99 per month or $69.99 per year. Existing Photoshop and Adobe Creative Cloud subscribers can access the mobile app at no additional cost.

Designed specifically for mobile use, the app features an optimized interface with touch-friendly controls. Selection tools have been refined for accuracy, and essential features are positioned for easy access. The app supports a cross-device workflow, allowing users to begin projects on mobile and continue editing on desktop or web.

Adobe’s Firefly AI models, which are trained on licensed content, power the generative editing tools, distinguishing them from competitors like Midjourney and DALL·E. This AI integration enables businesses and creative professionals to produce high-quality visuals with commercial usage rights.

With the Android release planned for later this year, Adobe continues to expand its creative ecosystem across mobile, web, and desktop platforms.
