Adobe apps compatibility with macOS

Last updated on Dec 11, 2025

Learn which Adobe apps are compatible with macOS 26 Tahoe, macOS 15 Sequoia, and macOS 14 Sonoma.

Tip

Before you upgrade:

  • Create a backup of your important documents, app data, and system settings before applying significant macOS updates. If you experience issues after the update, you may need to restore these files from the backup after returning your Mac to a previous macOS release.
  • If you rely on third-party plug-ins or workflows, test the upgrade on another Mac (if available) to confirm compatibility before updating your primary device.

The information in each table shows the Adobe apps that are confirmed to be compatible with macOS Tahoe, Sequoia, and Sonoma, respectively. Check your app’s technical requirements for the latest information on compatibility.
