Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator can now be used from a browser

Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator will now be accessible from the web, the company announced at the Adobe Max 2021 conference. Users will now be able to use the Photoshop and Illustrator editing tools straight from a web browser, without having to install any software on their device. Creators using the Photoshop and Illustrator web interface can even share their edits as they work, letting people preview their work-in-progress files.

Along with Photoshop and Illustrator for web, Adobe also announced Creative Cloud Web, which includes new ways for users to collaborate with others online. Creative Cloud Canvas will let users create a mood board in collaboration with others, with changes and notes synced for all users. Creative Cloud Spaces will let teams share files, libraries, and links in a single location, which can be accessed by all team members.

Photoshop and Illustrator for web won’t have all the features from the desktop apps, but will let users select objects using the lasso, quick selection, and magic wand tools, and make light edits right from their web browser. Photoshop for web has been released in public beta, while Illustrator for web will be launched in a private beta soon.
