Adobe Premiere Arrives on Android, Free to Use

Adobe's Premiere video editor is now free on Android, with layouts built for both candy bar phones and foldables.

Premiere, Adobe's flagship video editor, has landed on Android.

Adobe released the Android version of Premiere today, and it's free to download and use. The app includes layouts designed specifically for Android's hardware variety, with distinct interfaces for standard candy bar phones and foldable devices. Premiere has been an iPhone mainstay for years; this marks its first dedicated Android release, not a stripped down or stretched port of the iOS app. No premium tier or in-app purchase details were mentioned alongside the launch.

Foldable specific design is the notable detail here. Most mobile apps treat foldables as an afterthought, stretching a phone layout across a bigger screen and calling it done. Building a separate layout for that form factor is a bet that foldable owners are worth the extra engineering, though we're speculating on Adobe's reasoning since it wasn't stated. It's also fair to guess this pressures Android's crowded editing app market, but that's our inference, not something the announcement claims.

A free, foldable-aware video editor showing up on Android for the first time is notable on its own, pricing questions aside.
