Get answers to frequently asked questions about using the Adobe Photoshop extension.
To get started, go to the Chrome Web Store, then search for the Adobe Photoshop extension. Next, select Add to Chrome. Once installed, select the Extension icon, then pin it in the upper-right corner of your browser. Pinning the extension makes it easier to access it.
The Adobe Photoshop Chrome Extension is a browser tool that allows you to quickly select images from web pages, then make quick edits like remove backgrounds, adjust colors, or crop them directly within Google Chrome without downloading or re-uploading the files. From here, you can easily open the image in either Photoshop on the web or Lightroom on the web for further refinement.
Web pages are created using different tools and web standards. So we recommend a number of approaches for adding images to the Photoshop Extension. Begin by looking for the Photoshop Ps badge in the upper-left corner of a web page as you hover over the image.
If you've toggled off the Add Photoshop on image hover in the Extensions panel, you'll not see the badge.
If the badge isn't visible, right-click the image, then select Add to Photoshop Extension. If you don't see Add to Photoshop Extension, select Open image in a new tab, and in the new tab hover or right-click the image again.
The images are low-resolution because you’re selecting a web thumbnail rather than the full-size image itself. To access the full image, select the search results icon in Google Chrome. You’ll often see the full image in the panel to the right. Hover over the larger image to access the Ps badge, or right-click to select Add to Photoshop Extension.
The image you are selecting is not in a source format that is supported by the Photoshop Extension. To narrow your search results to image formats supported by the extension, try using Google’s Advanced Search feature while selecting supported image formats like JPG, PNG, WEBP, and AVIF.
Images added to the Photoshop Chrome extension are automatically stored as Chrome browser data on your local machine. The images will remain in Chrome even after it is closed and reopened, but will not automatically appear on other computers. If you want access to the images across multiple devices, consider opening the images in Photoshop or Lightroom, then saving them to the Creative Cloud.
Once you’ve added your image to the Extensions panel, select Edit in Photoshop for the web. Photoshop the web will open with the selected image on the canvas.
Currently the Photoshop extension is available only in Google Chrome for Mac and Windows, and not on mobile devices.
