Adobe Fresco, released in November 2019, is a tool that uses the AI function Adobe Sensei to enable a wide range of drawing expressions. It has the flexibility to meet the needs of a wide range of people, from beginners to creators, designers, and illustrators.

Adobe Fresco has been distributed for free until now, but in order to get unlimited access to Adobe Fonts , access to over 1,000 additional brushes, import your own brushes, and more, you needed to subscribe to an Adobe Fresco standalone plan for 1,150 yen per year.

However, Adobe announced that Adobe Fresco will be made completely free on October 23, 2024. This means that the various features that were available with a paid subscription to Adobe Fresco will now be available to everyone for free.



The rise of the digital painting app '

Procreate ' is believed to be behind Adobe Fresco's decision to make it completely free, and foreign media outlet Neowin commented, 'Procreate is characterized by its ease of use - a one-time purchase of 2,000 yen - and the availability of a wide range of toolkits that can be used by anyone, from beginners to experts, and has been gaining momentum among digital artists in recent years. Making Adobe Fresco completely free will further intensify competition in the digital painting app market.'

Adobe said, 'By making Adobe Fresco completely free, we're unleashing creativity for everyone. Now that Adobe Fresco is completely free, anyone can discover or rediscover the joy of drawing. Whether you're new to drawing or painting, a student aspiring to become a creative professional, or already on a career as an illustrator, animator, or graphic designer, Adobe Fresco will help you rediscover the joy of drawing.'

In addition, Adobe Fresco is available for iOS and iPadOS, as well as for Windows.
