We are working to ensure that our other apps run natively on macOS 13 Ventura, but don't have release dates for all our apps yet. We'll update this document when more details are available. We recommend that you run your Adobe apps only in operating systems and hardware platforms as noted in the system requirements for your apps.

When can I upgrade to macOS 13 Ventura?

Apps Compatible with macOS 13 Ventura

If you're in the middle of a project or other business-critical work, we recommend that you wait until the project is complete. Before you upgrade, make sure you have a reliable backup and can restore to your current version in case you run into issues. If possible, upgrade in a test environment to ensure your third-party plug-ins, workflows, and configuration continue to work as expected.

Apps NOT Compatible with macOS 13 Ventura

We strongly recommend you wait until we have released a compatible version of your app.
