Adobe Creative Cloud vs. Alternatives in 2023

Adobe Creative Cloud is the subscription-based edition of all the Adobe products so it’s difficult to find alternatives to Adobe Creative Cloud. However, GIMP and Pixelmator are popular as Photoshop alternative and can be considered as competitors of Adobe Creative Cloud.

GIMP comes with all the basic features available in Photoshop and supports most of the popular formats including GIF, BMP, PNG, JPG and Tiff. The latest version of this software is quite similar to Photoshop. However, the software doesn’t support CMYK format natively.

Pixelmator is another popular Photoshop alternative with user-friendly interface, multiple format support and layers, filters, brushes and nice effects. However, it’s only compatible with Mac OS.

Adobe Creative Cloud alternatives - for small & large Business

Here are the top 4 alternatives to Adobe Creative Cloud that are worth checking out: CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 for SMBs, Keylight for large size business, Lepide Active Directory Bulk Image Editor for growing companies, and Skitch for low budget organizations.
