Key takeaways
- Creative Cloud All Apps bundles more than 20 Adobe programs, including Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, After Effects and InDesign.
- If you only need one or two apps, a single-app or Photography plan costs much less.
- The subscription also includes cloud storage, the Adobe Fonts library and generative AI credits for Firefly features.
Adobe's software is the standard in design, photography and video for a reason. It is also sold in a way that confuses people, with a dozen plans and names that overlap.
This guide covers the All Apps plan: what's in it, who should buy it, and when a smaller plan is the smarter choice.
What Creative Cloud is
Creative Cloud is Adobe's subscription service. You don't buy Photoshop any more. You subscribe, download the apps you need, and receive updates for as long as the subscription runs.
The All Apps plan gives you everything Adobe makes for creative work on desktop, along with mobile versions and online services.
The main apps
Photoshop for photo editing, retouching and compositing.
Illustrator for logos, icons and vector artwork that needs to scale to any size.
InDesign for multi-page layouts: brochures, magazines, books and reports.
Premiere Pro for video editing, and After Effects for motion graphics and visual effects.
Lightroom for organising and editing large batches of photos.
Acrobat Pro for creating, editing and signing PDFs.
Beyond those, the plan includes Audition for audio, Animate, Dreamweaver, Adobe Express for quick social content, and several others. Most people use three or four regularly and open the rest when a project calls for it.
What else is included
Adobe Fonts. Thousands of typefaces licensed for personal and commercial use, synced directly into your apps.
Cloud storage. Storage for your files and libraries, so colours, logos and assets are shared between apps and devices.
Firefly generative AI. Features such as Generative Fill in Photoshop use monthly generative credits included with the plan. The number of credits depends on your subscription.
Portfolio and Behance. Tools for publishing your work online.
All Apps or a smaller plan?
All Apps costs considerably more than a single app, so it's worth working out what you'll use.
- A photographer usually needs only the Photography plan, which combines Lightroom and Photoshop.
- Someone who only edits video can take Premiere Pro alone.
- If you need three or more apps, All Apps is normally cheaper than buying them separately.
Designers, agencies and content teams almost always end up on All Apps because real projects cross between programs. A brand project might start in Illustrator, move to Photoshop for mock-ups and finish in InDesign.
What to know before subscribing
The apps are demanding. Photoshop and Premiere Pro want a decent processor, plenty of memory and a dedicated graphics card for comfortable use. Check Adobe's system requirements against your computer.
There's also a learning curve. These are professional tools, and the first few weeks can be slow. If you only need social posts and simple graphics, Canva Pro will get you there faster.
Finally, read the subscription terms. Adobe's annual plans billed monthly carry a fee if cancelled early, which catches many people out.
Tips for your first month
- Install only the apps you need now. Each one takes several gigabytes.
- Start with Adobe's built-in tutorials on the app's home screen before paying for a course.
- Save brand colours and logos to a Creative Cloud Library so every app can reach them.
- Activate fonts from Adobe Fonts instead of downloading them from elsewhere.
- Keep an eye on your generative credits if you use Firefly features heavily.
Adobe Creative Cloud availability and pricing around the world
Adobe Creative Cloud is sold in most countries, but pricing varies widely by region and is charged in local currency where Adobe supports it. Students and teachers can get a substantial discount on the All Apps plan in many markets.
The desktop apps are available in many languages. Some services, and certain generative AI features, are limited by country or language, so check Adobe's availability notes if you depend on a specific one.
