Adobe has officially added Photoshop on the web as one of its Photoshop plans. The web version is geared to Photoshop newbies and comes complete with Adobe Firefly generative AI features including Generative Fill and Generative Expand. Adobe called it “a major milestone” since introducing Photoshop on the web in beta two years ago, starting with “an early preview of image editing capabilities.” Features now available for commercial use on the web include the ability to easily add or remove elements from any image, change a background, expand the frame, and create visuals using text-based prompts.

Thousands of users in more than 40 countries provided feedback in the beta phase that was incorporated into the web-based program, now available in more than 100 languages, Adobe explains in a blog post that itemizes new features.

“The web-based Photoshop service is included as part of all Photoshop paid plans (which start at $9.99 per month),” according to The Verge.

Photoshop on the web enables use in “just a few clicks” with no installation or downloading required. ”Users can invite collaborators “even if they do not have a Photoshop subscription, by sharing a link,” Adobe says.

The new release starts with “a focus on the needs of creators who are new to Photoshop” and also offers something for “existing Photoshop users” who might find quick access to Photoshop features like Generative Fill from anywhere and any web browser.

PetaPixel discusses details of Generative Fill and Generative Expand, both also released in Photoshop’s desktop version.

“Photoshop on the web also provides many of its desktop equivalent’s most commonly used tools but with a redesigned layout” and “more ‘streamlined’ user experience,” The Verge writes, explaining “this includes the Contextual Task Bar feature — which suggests the most relevant steps to take in your workflow — that was added to the desktop Photoshop app earlier this year. Adobe made its Firefly generative AI tools widely available earlier this month, as detailed in The Verge.

“The Contextual Task Bar is an on-screen menu that recommends the most relevant next steps in several key workflows, reducing the number of clicks needed to complete a project, and makes the most common actions more easily accessible,” PetaPixel reports, writing that it can “save steps in common workflows like replacing the background of an image or adjusting the lighting and tone of your images.”
