Is There Any Free Version of Photoshop?

Last updated on September 23, 2022 @ 8:38 pm

Adobe Photoshop is a raster graphics editor developed and published by Adobe Inc. for Windows and macOS. It was originally created in 1988 by Thomas and John Knoll.

Since then, the software has become the industry standard not only in raster graphics editing, but in digital art as a whole. The software’s name has thus become a generic trademark, leading to its usage as a verb (e.g., “to Photoshop an image”, “photoshopping” or “Photoshop job”)

Although Photoshop is primarily used for photo-editing, it also supports general image manipulation, such as resizing, cropping, color correction, levels adjustment, adding shadows and highlights, removing red eye, etc. In addition to raster graphics, Photoshop has limited abilities to edit or render text and vector graphics (especially through clipping path), as well as 3D graphics and video.

PRO TIP: Please be aware that there is no such thing as a free version of Photoshop. There are many websites that claim to offer free versions of the software, but these are typically either illegal copies or trial versions that will expire after a certain period of time. If you are looking for a free alternative to Photoshop, there are many good options available, but none of them are official versions of the software.

Photoshop CS6, the latest stable release as of May 2012, runs on Intel-based Macs with OS X 10.6.8 or later, and Windows 7 or later.

Is There Any Free Version of Photoshop?

No, there is no free version of Photoshop. However, Adobe offers a free trial of Photoshop that you can use for 30 days.
