Adobe has made it possible for Android users to download a beta version of Photoshop. This new app lets people edit images right on their phones. It has many of the same features that are on the desktop version of Photoshop. The app is easy to use and it works well on mobile screens. Anyone with an Android device that runs Android 11 or newer and has at least six gigabytes of RAM can join the beta program and explore the app for free.
Adobe created this mobile version so that more people can work on their creative projects with their phones. In the past, Photoshop was only available on desktop computers. Now users can edit photos wherever they go. By offering a free beta Adobe hopes to get feedback from many users. Their input will guide the company as it adds more tools and features.
Editing Tools You Will Find in the App
The Android beta version includes layers and masks. Users can stack multiple images and control how they blend together. The app also has a library of free Adobe Stock assets. Creators can choose from many images and graphics without leaving the mobile app. They can also move their work between other Adobe apps like Lightroom and Fresco without extra steps.
You will find tools that let you add or remove parts of an image. The Tap Select tool makes it easy to erase unwanted objects with a single tap. The Spot Healing Brush helps fix small spots or distractions in images. If you need to isolate a person or object, the Object Select tool can do that for you.
Generative Fill and Removal Tools
The app includes AI powered tools called Generative Fill and Generative Expand. These tools can add new content or fill blank areas based on what you choose. You do not need to know any complex commands. Just select the area you want to change and let the tool fill it for you. This makes it simple to add new elements or extend backgrounds.
The Clone Stamp tool lets users copy areas of an image and put them somewhere else. Removing a large section of an image is easy to do with the Remove tool. All these tools work together so users can create layered edits or quick fixes.
How to Join the Beta
Joining the beta program is easy. Go to the Adobe website and sign up. You will need to tell Adobe your device model and how much RAM it has. This helps them make sure your phone can run the app smoothly. Adobe will then select users based on this information and available spots in the program.
If you are chosen you will get a link to install the Photoshop beta from the Google Play store. During the beta period all features are free. Later on Adobe may add extra tools that require a subscription. Right now anyone can test everything without paying.
Why This Update Matters
This beta launch is a big step for Adobe and for creators who love to work on their phones. Many people prefer editing images on mobile devices. They take photos with their phones and want to touch them up right away. With this new app they can do that no matter where they are.
For older Photoshop users this mobile version means more freedom. They can start a project on their phone and finish it on a desktop or on the web. All of their layers masks and edits will stay the same. This lets them move between devices without losing any work.
Android creators who have waited for a full Photoshop experience on their phones can now explore powerful tools and share feedback. Over time Adobe will add more features and make the app even better. By joining this beta users help shape the future of mobile editing.
