10 Best FREE ADOBE CREATIVE CLOUD Alternatives

What software do you use as a free alternative to any of Adobe's programs? Thanks for watching :)

very nice video very informative. Thanks for doing the research...

Adobe xd and alternative is figma

Thank you

Great video 👍 Thank you 💜

i haven't used any of these alternatives but i definitely going to try alternatives of Photoshop, Premier and After Effects and most importantly ShotCut because i need basic Video Editing for each of my video.

Corel Draw, Corel Paint, Corel Painter.

Is there any free alternative available for Adobe XD??

Thank you! ❤️ ❤️

For those who do web design, there's penpot. :)

the money i make from adobe's subscription cost is well worth it. some of their apps are rapidly becoming bloatware and the UI's are suffering with everything becoming an icon or a slider, so alternatives are starting to gain some interest.

I am seriously looking for better software for my audio and image needs. I have adobes creative cloud but it’s been going up and up in monthly sub since it was first released and I get nothing for the extra. My eyesight is deteriorating and the tiny grey font on dark grey Bach ground is near impossible to read for me. There are lots of preferences to set the UI properties but you ccant change the things I need. I tried to find someone at Adobe to see if I could get some relief but I was mocked. Their support is totally useless. I’ve been an Adobe customer and certified developer for more than 25 years but only once was I able to get help from their support dept. it’s past time I chucked Adobe I the gutter and this video has given me the start I need. Thank you!

I know and have used all those free alternatives.
It's been a while since I've used FoxIt Reader but another free alternatives I've used from time-to-time is LibreOffice Draw. The downside using it is that the entire office suite has to be installed.

Another non-linear editor, which I currently use, is Kden Live.

7:40 Am I the only one who heard "Adobe Anime"?

Adobe does have Acrobat Reader DC if you need a PDF viewer for Windows and its free. Adobe Photoshop Elements will replace Photoshop in most circumstances and you buy it once and it will work as long as you have it installed on your PC or your Mac.

photoshop wouldnt exist as it does today without adobe developers engaging in piracy soooooo a great free alternative to photoshop is... photoshop lol

Great overview, thanks!

Adobe is good but i am fed up of this subscription crap.

Icecream PDF Editor

In Da Vinci Resolve we have Fusion, good alternative to After Effect.

For audio we can use Wavosaure, also Cakewalk for musical production and Fairlight for mixing in... Da Vinci Resolve (the best multitools software, who can also make some photographic traitment with a little workaround in fusion).

Instead of Synfig, which is largely unmaintained, Krita should have been the one suggested. Also, Kdenlive is more mature and stable than Shotcut for video editing.

i'm not sure with adobe price plan, if I view on my country (adobe offered "country" when we first view their site)>

it's more cheaper compared to if i view it on united states.

it's around $20-ish for all plan. if i view as united states, it's $50-ish all plan.

Is Dark Table still an option? The site can't be reached.

Watched your channel for a long time. Great content and loads of useful information. Love it 👍👍

Because Adobe is Super Best So All Alternet app Work Like Adobe... So Confusion is Atlast Adobe is So Good

Surprised there's no mention of Krita. I've been using it for years as an alternative for Photoshop. It has a bit of a learning curve, but once you get the hang of it it's a versatile photo-editing program.

I used Audacity when working in radio, years ago. It isn't perfect but for most of us, it's perfectly functional.

Not a free option, but Affinity has some lower-cost (and non-subscription) solutions which parallel Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. I use their Publisher (InDesign) to format books for print, and I know of a few shops which replaced Adobe with Affinity for their magazine production. It's not 100% on the changeover, but it's definitely professional quality. I got the suite on sale, paid I think $129 for all three programs. There's also a bridge between programs like Adobe uses -- so you can open a project in the Photo program, jump it to the Design (Illustrator) program, then finish up in Publisher, all in smooth transition.

Darktable site is down. Your video has crashed their site!

is it possible to design flyers and banners with GIMP?

I used to work on Macromedia Flash (it bacame Adobe Flash) and I've struggled to find a suitable alternative when it was discontinued. It was actually a great programme. Not sure why they discontinued it?!

I will take a look at your suggested alternative - hopefully it's just as easy to use. Thank you.

Gimp is a suitable replacement for hobbyists, and little else. If you prefer not to be driven insane by baffling UI and general (bad) design choices cough up the shekels and go Affinity.

Likewise We would recommend pairing Inkscape with Affinity Designer, they compliment each other nicely (Inkscape in particular fills in several of Affinity's more glaring gaps).

Blender is an amazing (and amazingly capable) piece of software. It is not remotely on the level of After Effects for the niche it occupies.

Blackmagic Design still produces Fusion standalone, a world class compositing/vfx/motion tool. The free version is fully functional with the exception of plugin use and a couple of other high end niche features. If you find you need those things you pay for them... once .

Please note these comments are not meant to inflame or incite. They are directed at individuals looking to be world class creators who need tools that are good for more than thumbnail creation. Please disregard everything We've said if you are not this person.

SumatraPDF for my reader. Free

Your videos are the best! But I still like the "Tech Gumbo" name better.

As usual, great list of free software Brett! Thanks! 👍👍

Great finds.
Some oldies, some newbees

professional creators just pirate their software

For adobe audition alternative: You can find many themes for audacity ( light and dark audition too but light one is outdated ( after version 3.2 ) and dark is paid.) It is easy to midify light theme by using a new custom theme and just ctrl c ctrl v it. It took mi 10 min to do.

Been using ShotCut for a couple years now since you recommended it.

While it's not free, I use Affinity Photo for most of my photo editing. It fortunately is a one time purchase, but I have version one and they didn't include updating to version 2 as a free upgrade.

ArtRage, Rebelle, Corel painter, krita are some others.
Learn to draw by hand.

On another subject. I recommend reading and following Romans 10:9

Always appreciate your useful videos and insights Brett.

Good work. Keep it up. Cheers

Thank you very much for software racommendation, that's helpfull😊

Hey, I already asked this before, but did TechGumbo get rebranded?
