Adobe Fresco is celebrating five years of availability by going completely free.
Since its launch in 2019, Fresco has undergone more than 50 updates, introducing more than 120 features.

In the latest update, Fresco integrated motion tools that allow artists to animate static artwork with dynamic motion, adding animation capabilities to what was exclusively an art platform.
New users will also have access to Fresco’s support for advanced stylus features, such as haptic feedback and tilt recognition with the Apple Pencil, along with pinch shortcuts and barrel roll functionality
Fresco also integrates with other Adobe tools, such as Photoshop and Illustrator, opening up new possibilities for creative workflows. Artists can sketch in Fresco, refine their work in Photoshop, and switch between the two without the hassle of exporting and re-uploading files.
Gaetan DeSimone, motion designer for Nickelodeon, appreciates how Fresco combines the power of professional tools with an intuitive interface.
“I’m a professional, so I need professional tools,” says DeSimone. “One of the things I really like about the application at Fresco is that it has a professional toolset. I feel like the vector brushes are very good and respond in a natural way. There is no other app that has emulated that,” he added.
