Adobe

Photoshop is the photo editing anchor of the suite, and Generative Fill is the feature most people come for. You select an area, type what you want there, and Firefly builds it to match the surrounding pixels. Expand stretches a canvas and fills the new space, which saves a reshoot when a client wants a wider crop.

Illustrator builds logos, icons, and illustrations as vectors, so the artwork stays sharp at any size. The web and iPad versions carry most of the core tools, letting you sketch or clean up a file away from your desk. It pairs naturally with InDesign when a design needs to move into print.

Premiere Pro handles editing, color, and audio, while After Effects adds motion graphics and visual effects. Text-Based Editing lets you cut video by editing a transcript, which speeds up interview and podcast work. Premiere on iPhone now covers short-form edits, and Generative Extend can stretch a shot that ends too soon.

Firefly is Adobe's generative engine for images, video, and audio, built to be safe for commercial use. It lives inside the apps you already use, so you generate without switching tools. You can also reach third-party models like Google Imagen, OpenAI's image tools, and Runway from the same place. Just know that premium features burn through credits faster.

Acrobat covers PDF editing, conversion, and e-signatures, and its AI assistant answers questions about a document and generates summaries. Acrobat works on desktop, web, and mobile, so a contract can be read on a phone and signed in seconds. It stands alone as a cheaper plan if PDFs are all you need.

Libraries hold your colors, fonts, and assets so every app pulls from the same set, which keeps a team on brand. Files saved to Creative Cloud sync across desktop, web, and mobile, and Creative Cloud Libraries keep shared components in one place. Cloud storage starts at 100GB and scales with higher tiers.
