Is Adobe Lightroom free?
Adobe Lightroom and Lightroom Classic are Adobe's apps for organising photo libraries and editing raw photos, sold together as a subscription.
No, Adobe Lightroom has no free plan.

No. Adobe's plans page lists only paid plans, each with a 7-day free trial that turns into a paid plan unless you cancel.

What Adobe Lightroom costs
Lightroom is subscription only: the Lightroom plan with 1 TB of cloud storage, or the Photography plan that adds Photoshop. Both are paid monthly on a yearly plan, and prices vary by country.
Checked on 14 October 2026 on Adobe Lightroom's own pricing page. Prices change, so confirm there before you pay.
