How much does Adobe Photoshop cost?

Adobe Photoshop is Adobe's image editing app. The Photoshop plan costs US$22.99 a month on an annual plan billed monthly, or US$263.88 a year paid up front, and comes with a 7-day free trial.

The plan includes Photoshop on desktop, web and mobile, the Adobe Express Premium plan, 100GB of cloud storage and 25 generative credits a month for AI features such as Generative Fill. If you also edit photos in Lightroom, the Photography plan costs less, US$19.99 a month, and adds Lightroom, Lightroom Classic and 1TB of storage. Creative Cloud Pro bundles Photoshop with 20+ other Adobe apps for US$69.99 a month, with 50% off the first 3 months for new subscribers.

Bottom line: Photoshop suits detailed photo editing, retouching and compositing. Photographers usually get more for less on the Photography plan. If you only make quick social graphics, a cheaper design tool may be enough.

Honest fit

Who it's for, who it isn't

Pick Photoshop if

  • You retouch, composite or edit photos in detail
  • You work with PSD files from clients or a design team
  • You want AI edits like Generative Fill inside a pro editor
  • You also need Lightroom (take the Photography plan)

Look elsewhere if

  • You only make quick social posts or simple graphics
  • You want to buy once instead of paying a subscription
  • You plan heavy AI generation on the base plan, which has 25 credits a month
  • You want a free desktop editor
