Islamabad, 4 June 2025: Photoshop Beta on Android has officially landed, marking Adobe’s inaugural release of its flagship photo-editing software on Android devices and for now, it’s free of charge.
Adobe’s decision to launch this version as a public beta gives Android users early access to one of the world’s most advanced creative tools.
While the current edition is free to use, industry observers expect that the full version, once released, will likely be monetized, aligning with Adobe’s usual pricing model. The beta app is already available for download via the Google Play Store.

Near-Desktop Editing Power on Mobile
The Android rollout closely follows Adobe’s earlier launch on iOS and brings with it an extensive toolkit nearly identical to what’s available on the desktop version of Photoshop. This includes support for complex layer-based editing, object masking, and AI-enhanced features.
