Adobe: Creative Cloud Quick Start Guide

What is the Adobe Creative Cloud?

The Adobe Creative Cloud and its products are available on macOS and Windows. Adobe Creative Cloud is a suite of Adobe applications including:

  • Acrobat (the full-featured version of Acrobat, which allows editing)
  • Illustrator
  • InDesign
  • Photoshop
  • Premiere

For a full list of apps, see Adobe's website here (link opens in new tab).

Even though it is called Creative Cloud, these applications are installed on your computer and not running in the cloud. The Creative Cloud does include some cloud storage for documents and cloud based assets like fonts and templates.

Getting Started
