Can You Outright Buy Photoshop?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 12:22 pm

When it comes to image editing software, Adobe Photoshop is the gold standard. Photoshop is used by professional photographers, graphic designers, and even many web designers.

It has an intuitive interface and a ton of features that make it the perfect tool for creating stunning images.

So, can you outright buy Photoshop? The answer is yes.. and no. Adobe offers two different versions of Photoshop: a subscription-based version (Creative Cloud) and a one-time purchase version (Photoshop CC).

If you want to outright buy Photoshop, you’ll need to purchase the one-time purchase version, which currently costs $9.99/month. However, this version will eventually become outdated as new versions of Photoshop are released.

PRO TIP: No. Photoshop is not available for purchase as a standalone application. You can only buy it as part of Adobe Creative Cloud.

If you’re willing to pay a monthly subscription fee, you can get the latest version of Photoshop (and all of Adobe’s other Creative Cloud products) for $49. This is definitely the more expensive option, but it’s also the more convenient option since you’ll always have access to the latest features and updates.
