Adobe surprised everyone by giving away a curated collection of over 1,000,000 completely free photos, illustrations, templates, videos, audio, and 3D models from talented Stock providers… This Adobe Stock Free Collection is available for all to download at no cost – plus these high-quality assets meet the same standards as the paid collection, so they come with a royalty-free commercial license forever. Check out the free Stock here and instantly download whatever you want, with an incredible selection to choose from!
Adobe is doing right by the artists who created all this valuable free content, too. Even though you’re getting access to hundreds of thousands of world-class assets at no cost, Adobe still makes sure the artists are getting paid for providing it. So, you can use these assets in all of your personal, business, or commercial projects with the peace of mind that you are sourcing content ethically and respecting the artist community. But again, you pay nothing.
And for 10 additional paid assets of your choice at no cost, you can also tack on the free one-month trial described below…
As large as the new Free Collection is, it still represents only a tiny fraction of the complete (massive) Stock library. So, the offer gets even better… Adobe also wants to give you US$50 worth of professional, high-resolution paid stock assets right now. We’re talking about premium-quality, expert-curated pictures, illustrations, vectors, graphics, templates, audio/music tracks, 3D models and more from an enormous library of over 560 million assets to choose from…
How does this work? Well, if you try out the Adobe Stock paid plan, then they will credit you with 10 superlative images you can download free within the next 30 days and use forever. You can select any of the many millions of different assets (try searching right now!), and jump-start your creative projects – or use for any purpose in virtually any project anywhere.
The standard license to use or edit this content is royalty-free and granted in perpetuity, without geographical restrictions or expiration dates. Adobe Stock works beautifully together with the Creative Cloud apps (see demonstration below), but you don’t need a paid membership or subscription to use it (not even the free level of Creative Cloud), or even to be using Adobe software at all – because Stock can also work standalone. Either way, all you need in order to take advantage of this offer is an Adobe ID, which can be quickly created for free.
Normally with Adobe Stock, single images are US$9.99 each – but you can get 10 photos to use on a Monthly basis for $49.99/month. With the Annual Plan, your price is discounted to $29.99/month – and as noted above, your first month is completely free if you sign up for this plan now:
You will not be charged for the first month’s billing cycle. It is a full 30-day free trial and you can use the assets you download indefinitely. At any time during the first 44 days, if you don’t want to continue with Stock at the lower price, then you can easily cancel the service online and owe nothing at all. If you wish to continue your Annual plan subscription, then any unused images will roll over between months (up to 120 total) for as long as your Stock membership remains active.
If you don’t wish to continue, then Adobe provides easy online cancellations. Just visit your Manage Account page at any time to cancel (or contact Customer Support in your region).

Adobe Stock is Seamlessly Integrated into Your Workflow
In addition to the rich depth of the catalog and ease of quickly finding the right high-impact image for your needs, Adobe Stock is also already deeply integrated into the CC tools… This tight connection can be an big time-saver in your day-to-day work.
You can use an unlimited number of watermarked Stock preview images in your projects and designs – and search & browse right from within your favorite apps such as Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Dreamweaver, Animate, Premiere Pro, and After Effects. Then if you decide to license any particular image(s), you can do it inside those Adobe tools with a single click, without changing any of the work you’ve created.
Once you license an image, the watermarked version is replaced with the full-resolution version and the image will be automatically updated wherever you have used it throughout your project, saving you hours of rework. The Stock asset can be saved directly to a Creative Cloud Library and is immediately available on your Desktop as well as Adobe mobile applications.
Check out this 90-second demo – it is so quick, slick and easy to use:
For more details, including the step-by-step walkthrough of how to seamlessly use Adobe Stock from inside your CC products, see the Quick Start Guide.
And if you’re part of a larger organization, then you can use the group-enabled capabilities of Adobe Stock (such as pooled images, extended licenses, and reporting tools) to collaborate together with your coworkers on larger projects using Creative Cloud for Teams.

Hi, there.
Where is the download button for Adobe premiere CS6?
I really need it badly, please/
Thanks
Hi Joshua, you should be able to use our large collection of Adobe Software Direct Download Links (scroll through those posts) for many major releases of CC and CS over the years.
But please be aware that Adobe ceased selling Creative Suite 6 standalone on their website last year. The reason is because CS6 is over 4 years old now (from spring 2012) and increasingly unsupported; they stopped releasing updates for it last summer as the newer CC rapidly grew and took over.
With the CS6 software EOL and end of support, there are no updates, no bug fixes, and no guarantees it will run on the latest or future operating systems. So at this point we’ve stopped recommending it as a good or viable option going forward.
By contrast, with CC all ongoing upgrades, compatibility updates and product additions are always included – so becoming obsolete will never happen. The monthly payments are also more budget-friendly in the new model than in the old CS model – where the software used to cost many hundreds or often thousands of dollars upfront, and never evolved.
Thanks
How can I get a one-time adobe creative cloud? I want to use for study purposes, and I don’t have money to pay for it monthly. Am a passionate graphic design student.
Thanks
Hello Philemon, thanks for your question. If you don’t want to purchase the products at this time, then you can use the fully-functional free trials for 7 days… The free trials offer is open to everyone worldwide, does not require any credit card or other payment, and includes all the CC desktop tools like Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Acrobat, Dreamweaver, Animate, Muse, Premiere, After Effects, etc.
You can download them all here at no cost:

On top of that, there is also a permanently free level of Creative Cloud – and you could certainly take advantage of that, as well:
