Adobe surprised everyone this week by making Fresco – their premium drawing and painting app for Windows and mobile – free to the world:
Today, we’re embracing creativity for all by making Fresco completely free for all users, so anyone and everyone can discover — or rediscover — the joy of drawing and painting with the support of Adobe Fresco.
Yes, it’s true: this groundbreaking app is now 100% free. Fresco is designed for digital artists with a wide variety of brushes and features to help you create your next masterpiece.
Adobe first introduced Fresco five years ago, and it has since become much beloved in the marketplace. Fresco is the only free app that combines vector, live, and thousands of pixel brushes – the world’s largest collection! The revolutionary live brushes deliver a completely natural painting and drawing experience, and must be seen to be believed.
So you can now create incredible artwork with the painting and drawing app designed just for stylus and touch. Anyone can download it here – Adobe Fresco Premium is free forever with no subscription required:
Fresco is one of the highest-rated drawing and painting apps built for iPad and iPhone. But in addition to iOS/iPadOS (with Apple Pencil support), Fresco is the only mainstream drawing application that can also run on a Windows computer: desktop, tablet, or hybrid. The only downside is there is currently no version for Mac or Android.
Fresco is very intuitive and easy to use. You can follow the in-app tutorials with the “Learn” tab on the left while you do things. They are well made for getting started. The app also redirects you to relevant YouTube tutorials.
Launch Adobe Fresco from your iPhone, iPad, or Windows device and take a quick tour. Then dip your brush and dive in — everything you need to get started is right inside the app.

One reviewer writes:
Best alternative for Procreate. This is the best app you can find for digital art. There are tons of brushes, tools and masks. I use this app to do everything. To draw, make comic strips or even fix photos. If you are just stating with digital art I would totally recommend this app. It’s easy and fun to use. When I first starting using this I lost my mind. It was amazing. There are new feature added everyday so it is even easier to draw. And the best part is, it is completely free. 10/10
