Adobe has launched its free Premiere video editing app on Android nearly a year after debuting on iOS. The release marks Adobe's shift away from Premiere Rush, which loses support on September 30.

The Android version of Premiere is now available as a free download. Adobe designed the app with device-specific layouts for candy bar phones and foldable devices, optimizing the editing experience across different form factors. Premiere Rush users have until September 30 to transition to the new Premiere app. The move consolidates Adobe's mobile video editing offerings under a single platform. Adobe's free Premiere app includes core editing features alongside optional premium functionality. The staggered rollout between iOS and Android reflects the company's typical release strategy for major applications. The app is available today on Google Play Store.
