Adobe Fresco brings raster, vector, and live brushes to Windows

Adobe announced the availability of Adobe Fresco on Windows devices at Adobe MAX 2019. The drawing and painting app first launched on the iPad in September but is now available for select Windows devices. Adobe Fresco is free for the first six months, after which it costs $9.99 per month.

At launch, Adobe Fresco only works on a select set of Windows devices. A help document from Adobe lists each compatible device.

An Adobe blog post states that more devices will gain compatibility with Adobe Fresco as Adobe works with Windows hardware partners. The blog post also hints at Adobe Fresco running on the Surface Pro X. The post points people to this video to see Adobe Fresco on the Surface Pro X. The actual demonstration of Adobe Fresco starts at the 54:00 mark.

While Adobe Fresco on Windows is similar to Adobe Fresco on the iPad, the feature sets are not identical at this point. Adobe states that the company plans to close this gap, but at launch some features from the iPad version won’t be on the Windows version.

In addition to the release of Adobe Fresco on Windows, Adobe also announced upgrades to Lightroom, Premiere Pro, After Effects, and InDesign. Creative Cloud Desktop has also been redesigned, including a new native search engine that allows people to search across all of their Creative Cloud assets.
