Adobe

Adobe is a global software company focused on digital content, documents and customer experiences. Its applications are used by designers, photographers, filmmakers, publishers, marketers, office workers and software teams. Adobe sells most of its major products through cloud subscriptions, connecting desktop and mobile tools with collaboration, storage, asset libraries and services for publishing or measuring digital work.

Adobe Creative Cloud includes Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Lightroom and other applications for image, design, video, audio and publishing workflows. Acrobat and Document Cloud support PDF creation, editing, electronic signatures and document management. Adobe Experience Cloud provides analytics, content management, commerce, personalisation and campaign tools for businesses. The company is also adding generative-AI features through Adobe Firefly, with tools designed to work inside established creative and enterprise processes.

John Warnock and Charles Geschke founded Adobe in 1982 after leaving Xerox PARC. The company first gained prominence through PostScript, a page-description language that became important to desktop publishing. It later introduced Illustrator, Photoshop, Acrobat and the Portable Document Format. Adobe shifted its main creative applications from boxed software to the Creative Cloud subscription model during the 2010s, changing both product delivery and its commercial structure.

Adobe is headquartered at 345 Park Avenue, San Jose, California 95110-2704, United States. Its published corporate telephone number is +1 408 536 6000. Product sales and customer support are handled through dedicated online services and regional contact channels listed by Adobe.
