Google and Adobe recently rolled out the official Adobe Photoshop extension for Chrome users, focusing on "easy editing and creation in the browser". After installing the extension in the Chrome Web Store, users can sign in or create an Adobe account to enable Photoshop web for image cropping, color grading, cutout, and simple compositing directly in the browser. Extended page callouts, which give eligible users 12 months of free access to Photoshop web, is a limited-time offer for the online version of Photoshop, not the desktop version of Photoshop full-featured subscription.
The campaign description shows that this 12-month free access offer has a clear expiration date, and the current stated deadline is December 8, 2025. Continued use after the expiration of the offer will be subject to the Adobe subscription terms, which may automatically renew at the then-published price if the payment method is linked to the account and not canceled in time. Availability and specific eligibility may vary by region, and users need to confirm the subscription type, renewal rules, and payment information on the event page and in their Adobe account before claiming to avoid unexpected charges. Overall, this promotion is intended to drive the adoption of Photoshop web, allowing more users to experience image editing in a browser environment with a low barrier to entry.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which product is given with Chrome extensions after installing them?
A: What is given is Photoshop web, that is, the browser version of Photoshop, which can complete basic image editing on the web, not the desktop version of Photoshop or the full Creative Cloud package.
Q: What is the time limit for 12 months of free access?
A: The event page currently states that the relevant offer is valid until December 8, 2025, subject to the terms and date displayed at that time, and whether to extend it after that depends on subsequent announcements.
Q: Will the fee be automatically deducted after the free period ends?
A: The charge depends on the subscription settings in your Adobe account.

Q: Is this Adobe Photoshop extension safe?
A: The official extension is published on the Chrome Web Store, and the developer is attributed as Adobe, Inc., and the domain name and brand are official logos. To stay on the safe side, it's recommended to only search for and install the official extension from the Chrome Web Store and not download the plugin from a third-party website.
