Supported international scripts
Last updated on
Oct 28, 2025
Find the list of languages supported by the Unified Text Engine in Adobe Photoshop.
Photoshop supports scripts from around the world with shaping and basic common attributes (no advanced typographic features). Photoshop only supports advanced typographic features for Latin, Arabic, and Japanese. For all other scripts, only shaping and common type attributes are supported.
Text features across Adobe applications do not necessarily have feature parity, as each application can rely on different text engines. Also, text features can vary according to the application's primary usage (image editing, page layout, illustration, and so on), so the preservation of formatting, style, and editability across applications can also vary according to the type of treatments you choose to apply.
The Unified Text Engine composer supports the following languages and scripts:
Indic
- Bengali
- Gujarati
- Hindi
- Kannada
- Malayalam
- Marathi
- Oriya
- Punjabi
- Tamil
- Telugu
Middle Eastern
- Arabic
- Hebrew
South East Asian
- Thai
- Sinhalese
- Burmese
- Khmer
- Lao
CJK
- Chinese
- Japanese
- Korean
South East Asian (SEA) languages or scripts are not currently supported on all Adobe products. Moving SEA text from an Adobe app that currently supports SEA scripts to an application that does not support them is likely to result in the loss of some or all text copy and formatting edits. In this case, note the following:
- Image files may need to be flattened before moving from Photoshop to other applications.
- Text files from Adobe Illustrator may need to be converted to outlines before usage in other applications.
- Text conversions may result in a loss of editability when moved from one application to another.
