It’s not often you see discounts on Adobe Creative Cloud – Adobe’s ever-popular software suite packed with all the greatest hits such as Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects and InDesign.

Now that Black Friday season has started, Adobe has dramatically slashed prices. The sale ends on Black Friday itself (November 29) so you may want to take advantage in advance of the big day.

Adobe Creative Cloud normally costs $659.88 / £656.21 a year if bought directly from Adobe (on the annual prepaid plan – those prices went up in 2023, they used to be $599.88 / £596.33 a year). For Black Friday Adobe is offering a discount on that price and the monthly subscription prices. More information below.

You can save 50% on the usual price.

More information about these discounts can be found at Adobe U.S. and Adobe U.K. You can also read all about how to get the Best prices for Adobe Creative Cloud here: Adobe Creative Cloud pricing: How to get the best deal.

How to get Adobe’s Black Friday price if you’re an existing customer

Adobe’s Black Friday deal isn’t available for existing customers, though in the past we have found that beginning the subscription cancellation process can sometimes prompt Adobe to offer a discount or additional months for free to entice users to stay.

If you already have an Adobe Creative Cloud subscription that is due to increase in price in the next few months—say you got the deal last year—or is already priced higher than the latest deal, it may be worth contacting Adobe’s customer service to cancel so you can jump on the new, cheaper Black Friday deal.

Sometimes they will just move you over to the new price without you having to cancel.

The process is simple. Sign into your Adobe CC account and click on “Manage Account”. Here you’ll see your current plan price. Most plans last 12 months, so if that deal is coming up or you are already on a price higher than the Black Friday deal, ask Adobe to switch you over straight away.

The simplest way is to use the Chat service. A Chat speech bubble icon should be in the lower right-hand corner of the webpage. If not, Adobe suggest you cange your browser. After signing in again, scroll down to the bottom to “Start chat”. Explain what you want to do (cancel your current plan and move to the new price) and the Adobe representative will guide you through the process.

Even easier, if you’ve had the account for a few years, is just to ask if you can change to the new Black Friday price. When they say it’s for new customers only, say that you don’t want to go through the whole cancellation process just to get the new price, so could the agent assist you in doing it without cancelling your account.

We’d suggest giving that a shot and seeing how far you get—good luck!
