PhotoshopAdobe × Google Chrome: Get Photoshop Web Free for One Year

How It Works & How to Claim It Before It Ends

Adobe just dropped a surprisingly generous offer — and no, it’s not a Google product. It’s an official Adobe extension, created in partnership with Google, and installing it unlocks 12 months of Photoshop Web (premium) for free.

But the deal expires fast. If you want in, you need to claim it before December 8, 2025.

Today, I will break down exactly what the offer includes, what the extension actually does, and the step-by-step installation process so you don’t miss your free year.

⭐️ What You Get (The Core Offer)

Here’s the deal in plain language:

• 12 months free: Full access to Photoshop Web — the browser-based Photoshop with AI tools like Generative Fill.

• Deadline: Must activate before Dec 8, 2025

• How to unlock it: Install the official Adobe Photoshop Chrome extension + sign in with your Adobe account.

• Cost: $0 for the first year.

  (Reminder: Adobe trials typically auto-renew. More on that below.)

  
  

This is Adobe’s push to promote Photoshop Web — and it’s honestly one of the most generous Photoshop deals they’ve offered in years.

What Does the Extension Do?

The extension itself is a “mini” tool that lives in your browser toolbar, allowing you to do quick edits without waiting for the full Photoshop app to load. Its key features include:

• Quick Background Removal: Remove the background of an image found on the web with one click.

• Simple Adjustments: Tweak lighting, color, and exposure instantly.

• Social Cropping: Preset crop ratios for Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook.

• “Edit in Photoshop Web”: A direct button that sends the image to the full, powerful web version of Photoshop (which is what you get the free 1-year access to).

The extension is the trigger for the offer — install it, sign in, and the free plan is activated.

⚠️ Important Notes & Limitations

🔄 Auto-Renewal

Adobe trials almost always auto-renew at standard rates. Set a reminder for November 2026 to decide whether to keep or cancel it.

💻 This Is Photoshop Web, Not Photoshop Desktop

Still powerful, still includes AI tools like:

• Generative Fill

• Smart Object selection

• Content-aware adjustments

But it runs entirely inside your browser — no Creative Cloud desktop app included.

🖥 Works Best on Chromebooks (But Also Fine on Mac/Windows)

Chromebook Plus devices are the target, but many users report smooth activation and performance on:

• Chrome browser on macOS

• Chrome browser on Windows

So you don’t need a Chromebook to get the offer — just Chrome.

🏁 Final Thoughts

This offer is perfect for creators, students, designers, marketers, and anyone who edits images regularly. The combination of a lightweight Chrome extension + full Photoshop Web access makes your browser feel like a production studio.

Just remember: Deadline → Dec 8, 2025. Price → Free for one year. Plan → Set a reminder before auto-renew hits.
