System and subscription requirements

System requirements

Fonts are added on your computer through Creative Cloud desktop, which is available for macOS and Windows.

It isn't possible to add desktop fonts on other operating systems, as the Creative Cloud desktop application is not available for those platforms.

Web fonts hosted by Adobe work in all browsers which support web fonts on macOS, Windows, and Chrome OS, as well as most mobile browsers; read more about web font browser and OS support.

Note:

In order to add fonts, you have to be signed in to the Creative Cloud desktop application with a named-user Creative Cloud subscription. It isn't possible to add fonts with a device or site-wide Creative Cloud license. 

As of Fall 2022, Adobe offers three different access levels for Adobe Fonts. To find out which level you have, please visit your Adobe Account page. For a general overview of what each level enables, please refer to the chart below.
