Just resubscribing with new email address
Thanks for being a longtime reader, Ken – we appreciate it!
Why can I not access the free books and free stock? I have CC current, and have signed up. Every time I click on the link, I just get into a loop asking me to sign up as if I never had.
Hi Noelle, which book were you talking about exactly? And what problem or issue did you have? Did you receive any error or other message? It’s hard to help without more details.
Did you try with a different web browser – or using another computer or device? That’s really the first thing to check.
Also, are you blocking or filtering anything with your browser(s) – like cookies, downloads, or any sites or URLs? Adobe recommends turning those things off…
Or are you running any utilities that might restrict your web surfing – like Ghostery, AdBlock, or Disconnect? Or possibly your firewall, antivirus program (esp. Kaspersky), or other third-party security software? It could be because of over-aggressive software or utilities like these. Again, for downloads, Adobe suggests temporarily turning off anything that might be interfering.
An alternative would be to try downloading the book PDF’s for mobile usage and reading with a tablet/iPad or smartphone/iPhone… That would avoid any issues with the desktop and then you could then share the books back to your computer using Dropbox, Box, or Creative Cloud online storage.
Hope that helps!
Being an entrepreneur it’s difficult to go through this site.
Noelle never responded, and the vast majority of readers have no problem at all accessing the free books. But if you’re having a particular issue, then just post the details and we’ll be happy to assist. The advice we shared above may help.
Is this safe/legal? I do not want to install the cracked version.
Yes. All of our direct download links go to the authentic and secure files residing on Adobe’s servers, are guaranteed genuine, 100% safe and virus-free.
Thanks for asking.
Adobe is the best forever, thank you 4 all
Hello, I have a question. How to download these adobe books – is it legal? Can you explain please in details? These servers from Adobe have totally authorized this? And why would Adobe put these books for free? Thank you for the info!
Yes, all the books in this collection are completely legal and free to download and use… They are provided with the permission and consent of all of the authors.
Usually, they are offered to help increase use of the products themselves. Or, they are offered as helpful intros to larger volumes. Or, they are offered to help promote the author’s business or expertise. Or, they were written to assist the author’s students in University, and provided to the everyone else as a public service. Or, they are offered as companion guidebooks to a complete course.
But regardless, they are all being made available to you for your own use at no cost.
I received my email newsletter to be able to download the free ebooks, but cannot access the free books and free stock? I have CC current, and have signed up. Every time I click on the link, I just get into a loop asking me to sign up again. I did try it on a different brower with no luck.
Hello Tracey, sorry to hear that. Did you see our reply above with some tips if you’re having any issues?
Which Adobe book are you referring to specifically?
Also make sure you are not running any third-party blocking or filtering software.
Here are the 1,000,000+ free Adobe Stock assets that you can download your choice from, as many as you want:

hi,
Sir, I need the adobe xd 2017 version.
Sorry, Adobe never provided offline installers for the CC 2017 versions of Experience Design (XD), Animate, Dreamweaver, or Character Animator.
Do the books have other languages or some way of translating them?
Greetings Rodrigo,
We’re an English-based website, so most of the free books are in English.
However, the Adobe product manuals are available in multiple different languages and may be helpful to you. These reference guides are typically hundreds of pages long and you can download them in PDF as well.
I’m not seeing the actual links to download the free book(s). Can you help?
Hello Joan,
After entering your address in the form above, you’ll receive an email immediately with a collection of links to all the (30+) downloadable Adobe books.
[If you don’t get it within a couple minutes, check your promotions or bulk/junk folders as sometimes valid email is put there incorrectly.]
To ensure delivery, please add this incoming address to your contact list, address book, or safe senders list:
If for some reason you’re still not receiving the books, then just leave a quick comment below including your email address and we’ll send the links out to you (though it may take a bit longer that way).
Remember, we take your privacy seriously, and will never publish, share or spam your address – and you can unsubscribe at any time.
Unfortunately we cannot copy or send any books out directly, as we are not allowed to redistribute or violate copyright laws. You need to download them yourself from the list we send you via email.
Great books, very helpful … thank you for providing!
You are welcome, Gosford – we’re very happy to offer them.
Thank you for access to so many excellent books, lots to learn!
You’re most welcome – hope you get a lot out of them!
Hello, are these books from Adobe, and by Adobe is ok to have them for free?
Is it perfectly legal to have them for free? Why so many books for free – how is it possible?
Thank you for the info :)
Thanks for asking. All of these books are 100% legal and free – no joking. The 30+ books come from different publishers and places/sites. Some come direct from Adobe, but most do not.
What we’ve done gather all the information on these helpful resources to provide to our readers, including descriptions and links for each title. Most Adobe customers were not aware of all of these free books, and our readers here are grateful for them!
So please feel free to proceed with confidence and download the free Adobe books to learn how to use all of these creative tools.
Thank you for the fast reply! Actually I’m trying to learn Photoshop Elements (the latest version 2023) and I was searching for a book. I’ve already downloaded the Adobe user manual with more than 300 pages, but I wonder if there exists some free resources or books that explain the tools with more figures and pictures of each tool, their effects and so on.
All books about photoshop elements would be useful, I mean more books not only the user guide or manual?
Thanks again for the information and resources, and for the help!
We do have a couple of books about Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements in our free collection, though they were written for older versions.
Yes, the official Adobe PDF user guides would be the most current resource, in that case:

I am incredibly grateful for the availability of these fantastic design books that you have generously provided for free. As a graphic designer, I am confident that these opportunities will significantly enhance my career.
good morning
perfection work
very good job
Mein MAC ist : macOS High Sierra Version 10.13.6 und ich suche Photoshop für meinen mac. Wo kann ich Photoshop bekommen ?
Hi Christian, the last version of Creative Cloud to support macOS v. 10.13 “High Sierra” was CC 2020… Apple does offer free operating system upgrades, but your computer hardware has to be able to support a newer release of macOS.
Please note however that Adobe is discontinuing public direct download links for older software. Instead, you can get the latest Creative Cloud installers here or the previous CC release here.
For more details and complete information, see our new explainer post here.
