To use all of the app’s features, you’ll need to shell out for a PS Express Premium subscription.

Some sections of the interface take you through a quick tour of the app’s capabilities. And only the iPhone version lets you Remove background and create a transparent background image.Īfter signing in to your account, you can decide whether you want the app to be able to access photos on your device, which is necessary for a photo editing app. For example, the Windows store app doesn’t bother with the Premium option, instead merely proposing that you buy Lightroom in a banner ad. That said, the app differs depending on which platform you run it on. I tested on a Windows 10 PC, iPhone, and Google Pixel. Not to worry, though: Any device can use the Photoshop Express web app. You can find the app on the mobile app stores and Windows 10's app store, but no app is available for macOS, Amazon Fire tablets, or Chrome OS. Using some of the product’s more charming features requires paying for a Premium subscription, which costs $4.99 per month, $34.99 per year, with a first-year offer of $9.99. You can sign up with your Facebook or Google account if you don’t already have an Adobe account. None of those, however, offers Photoshop Express’s mix of basic adjustment and layer effects, and several require the more expensive subscription.Īs mentioned just above, Photoshop Express is free to download, but you do need an Adobe account (it can be a free account). Another is Photoshop Camera, which, beyond just being a replacement for your phone’s default camera app, lets you apply some zany creative effects to spice up your Instagram feed.

Most require a Creative Cloud subscription, however, including Photoshop Fix, Photoshop Mix, and the Lightroom mobile app. It’s worth noting that Photoshop Express is not Adobe’s only intro-level app for editing photos-far from it. The catch? You need to pay if you want to use many of its best features. Far from being the basic, stripped-down photo editor it was when it launched, Express has a lot of features, most of them aimed sharing online. Express features Adobe’s renowned imaging smarts, with a deep supply of tools for correcting and embellishing your photos. This free photo editing app is available for mobile, web, and desktop platforms. If Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, Lightroom, and Lightroom Classic are all overkill for you, but you still want to improve or enhance your pictures a bit, Adobe offers the free Photoshop Express.
