In their own words
Adobe Capture
Adobe Capture is a free mobile app for turning images and sounds into assets for creative projects. Available on Android and iOS, it can create colors, patterns, shapes, looks, materials, type and brushes from visual input. It can convert images into scalable vector artwork, with SVG listed as an output format, and supports batch conversion. Capture identifies fonts in images and suggests similar fonts for a Creative Cloud account. Image tools can remove or blur a background or replace it with a solid color. The app also records voice and sound effects and includes an Enhance Voice Recording feature. Assets saved to Creative Cloud Libraries sync with compatible Adobe desktop and mobile apps; for graphics, Adobe lists Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, After Effects, Premiere, Fresco and Express. Users can share those libraries with a team from Capture. A free basic Creative Cloud membership includes 2GB of storage for file syncing and sharing; optional extra 20GB is listed at $1.99/month. On Android, Capture effects are unsupported, and adjustments require devices meeting stated Camera2, hardware and SDK requirements.
