Adobe is actively working to build apps that run natively on Apple computers using the Apple silicon M1 chip. Many of our existing apps can run on M1 devices using Apple's Rosetta 2 technology.
Does my Adobe app work on Apple M1 computers?
Apps that run natively on M1 computers
Adobe Audition, Character Animator, Illustrator, InDesign, Lightroom, Lightroom Classic, Photoshop, Premiere Pro, and Adobe XD run natively on Apple M1 computers. We are testing and optimizing other apps for these new devices.
When will Other Adobe apps run natively on computers with the M1 chip?
Apps that run using Rosetta 2
You can install the following apps on computers powered by the Apple M1 chip. They run using Rosetta 2 technology. The apps may initially take longer to open while Rosetta 2 translates them for use in your M1 computer.
Acrobat Pro (known issues)
After Effects
Animate
Adobe Audition*
Adobe Bridge (known issues)
Character Animator*
Dreamweaver
Illustrator* (known issues)
InCopy
InDesign* (known issues)
Lightroom*
Lightroom Classic*
Adobe Media Encoder
Photoshop* (known issues)
Premiere Pro*
Premiere Rush
Adobe XD* (known issues)
(* These apps also run natively on M1 computers.)
Where can I download my app?
You can download these apps on your M1 device directly from creativecloud.adobe.com/apps. The Creative Cloud desktop app automatically installs with your app.
Does Adobe support apps running using Rosetta 2?
We provide support for the apps listed above. We haven't certified other Adobe apps yet and don't support their use on M1 devices.
For best results, run all other Adobe apps only on operating systems and hardware platforms noted in the system requirements.
Can I install plug-ins for Creative Cloud apps on Apple M1 computers?
Yes, you can install plug-ins or extensions on Apple M1 computers from the Marketplace tab in the Creative Cloud desktop app.
Note:
Photoshop only supports the new plug-ins (based on UXP, under Plugins in the menu) natively on Apple M1. If you want to use legacy plug-ins (under Window in the menu), run Photoshop in the Rosetta mode. If you are a developer, check if you can migrate your plug-ins from CEP to UXP.
Will Adobe continue to support Apple devices with Intel processors?
Yes. We have no plans to stop support for Apple devices with Intel processors.
How do I know whether my Apple computer uses an M1 or Intel chip
Select Apple menu (
) > About This Mac. The name of the chip in your computer is displayed next to Chip.
