Adobe releases all-new Photoshop app for Android devices

Early this year, Adobe released an all-new Photoshop app for iOS devices. Designed from the ground up for smartphones, the app allows users to easily add, remove, adjust, and combine content, as well as access free Adobe Stock assets to create new visuals.

Today, Adobe announced a similar, brand-new Photoshop app for Android devices, currently in beta.
It’s important to note that this Android version is not intended to replace the desktop version of Photoshop. Instead, it offers access to select powerful Photoshop features—including layering, masking, and the new Generative Fill—within an easy-to-use mobile interface.

During the beta phase, the following features are available to all users:

Combine and blend images using core Photoshop tools like selections, layers, and masks

Quickly remove or replace parts of an image with the intuitive Tap Select tool

Brush away distractions in seconds using tools like the Spot Healing Brush

Use Firefly-powered generative AI features like Generative Fill to effortlessly add or transform elements in visual designs

Enhance creative work with a growing library of free Adobe Stock assets

Make accurate selections with Object Select and Magic Wand

Refine images with advanced tools like Remove and Clone Stamp

Control layers and effects with advanced blend modes and adjustment layer

Following the beta phase, users will need a new Photoshop Mobile & Web plan to access the premium features. The premium features list includes the ability to remove objects by brushing over them with the Remove Tool, the ability to use Clone Stamp to hide unwanted objects by cloning areas of an image, the ability to fill portions of an image with content sampled from other parts of the image with Content-Aware Fill, the ability to export using additional file formats (PSD, TIF, JPG, PNG), and more.

You can download the Adobe Photoshop app from the Google Play Store if your device is running Android 11 or later and has at least 6GB of RAM (8GB or more is recommended for optimal performance).
