Adobe launches Stock Photo service, brings Android apps

So why did Adobe buy photo library solution provider Fotolia for reported $800 million earlier this year? We didn't have answers back then but now we can officially say Adobe Stock was the reason behind the buyout and the service makes Adobe Creative Suite, the one-stop shop for all your multimedia needs.


If you have been using image banks like Shutterstock, Getty images, then Adobe Stock is making its way to ease your image requirements with its library of over 40 million images, as per the company.

Launched in over 35 countries, including India, earlier today, Adobe Stock comes with added bonus of seamless integration with Adobe's existing products part of Creative Suite cloud edition. But you'll have to wait for the said features in India, as Adobe promises Stock-CS functioning in the coming months for users in the country and the pricing plans for different image packs for India will be announced to users soon.

The images catalogues available right now is unified but in the near future, expect to see stock videos and even local content for specific markets, as highlighted by Umang Bedi, managing director at Adobe South Asia without giving an exact date for the same.

Interestingly, the announcement also included the addition of Android mobile apps to Adobe's portfolio. This is the first time when the company has decided to offer products besides the ones that have been available to iOS users till now.

With the growing need for digitization becoming apparent, Adobe has also enhanced its existing solutions with features that fall in line with requirements from designers these days.
