Common questions | Mobile apps

The general system requirements for using Adobe mobile apps are as follows:

  iOS

Adobe mobile apps support iOS 9 and later running on iPad Pro, iPad 2 and later, iPhone 4s, 5, 5s, 5c, 6, 6S, 6 Plus, 6S Plus, 7, 7 Plus, and iPod Touch 5th Generation.

  Android

Adobe mobile apps support phones running Android 4.1.x and later.

Ensure that the Android phone on which you want to install Adobe mobile apps meet the following system requirements:

Minimum system requirements

• Processor: Quad Core CPU with 1.5 GHz frequency and ARMv7 architecture
• RAM: 1 GB
• Internal storage: 8 GB
• Android OS version: 4.1.x and later

Recommended system requirements

• Processor: Quad Core CPU with 2.2 GHz frequency and higher ARMv7 architecture
• RAM: 2 GB
• Internal storage: 8 GB and above
• Android OS version: 4.1.x and later

Some Adobe mobile apps support slightly-different devices and platforms than the standard requirements above:

With CreativeSync, you can seamlessly move between multiple apps on your mobile device in one workflow. Here's an example:

You are a designer creating a layout using Adobe Comp. You've placed an image in your layout but the image needs work—for example, perhaps you want to remove the background from the photo. You tap the photo and Adobe Photoshop Mix automatically launches on your device with the image preloaded. (If you don't have Mix installed, you are prompted to install it.) You remove the background and composite the image until it's perfect. Then you close Mix and, thanks to CreativeSync, the new version of the image has been automatically placed into your layout in Comp.

The feature you're using is free during an introductory period, but it may eventually require payment or a paid Adobe Creative Cloud membership plan. Note that after a paid offering is launched, you'll continue to have access to any work you've saved using these features during the free period. You won't lose any of your work.

Adobe is making many of the new capabilities you'll find in its mobile apps available within select apps from other companies via the Adobe Creative SDK. Some of these capabilities may eventually require payment or a paid Creative Cloud membership plan to use them within the app.
