Questions

I took a break from Fresco for 2 weeks now all of a sudden my left side toolbar is gone and the app is borderline unusable. Is there a way to change these settings back or rollback the app so it will work again? I spent months learning this app and now it sucks and I don’t want to have to learn a new app. Any suggestions on similar apps if I can’t change it back? I am on iPad. Thanks!

recently downloaded Adobe Fresco because i heard it was completely free and wanted to give it a try. but it’s hard for me to connect my lines with this crosshair in the way. i have disabled it in windows settings, disabled it on my huion drivers and even turned off brush preview on fresco and yet its still there. i have even used other apps such as Krita and it doesnt appear there at all. im using a huion wh1409 with the latest drivers and am currently on adobe fresco 5.7.0. if there is any way to get rid of this crosshair it would be greatly appreciated. 

I'm looking for a way to create "webbing" on two intersecting lines. What i mean by this is that when you normally intersect lines, they form sharp angles at the intersecting point. What i'd like is for the lines to have a nice smooth curve when they intersect. See attached picture. I currently have to do this manually and it takes a long time. Is there any way to do this now in fresco?

I am using an iPad. The button to import files was there this morning and now it’s gone.

I need an image for under layer and the new update makes me crazyi looked for the import function everywhere and I freak out now help 

I worked on a drawing on fresco for hours yesterday and let it save and closed the app like I normally do. When I opened it back up today to keep working on it, all of my progress from yesterday is gone and when I go to the version history it isn’t there. The file also won’t open when I click on it and says “the document does not appear to be a valid PSD file”. I didn’t change the file type and literally made the file in fresco, so I have no idea what happened. It has been opening fine the past few days. If anyone knows how to recover all of my progress please let me know, before yesterday I basically only had an outline and base colors so now I practically have to start all over again.

 I am experiencing an issue where the pen stroke does not respond correctly at the beginning of eachstroke. The line often breaks or does not register properly when I first start drawing, especially when using pressure sensitivity.Here are the details:App: Adobe Fresco Device: iPad Air 11-inch (M4) iOS Version: ios version26.5 Apple Pencil: [Apple Pencil Pro]I have already tried:Restarting the app Restarting the device Updating Adobe Fresco to the latest version Updating iOS to the latest versionThe Apple Pencil works normally in other apps such as GoodNotes, so the issue seems to occur only in Adobe Fresco.This problem started suddenly, even though the app previously worked fine.Please investigate this issue and let me know if there is a solution or if this is a known bug 

I have an issue with the fonts in Adobe Fresco. I used this app in my ipad.The font type changes every time I reopens it after saving the file. Those fonts are very basic ones, such as Gill Sans, Futura etc. They somehow changes them to Helvetica or from Bold to Italic… I thought it might be due to free plan, so I subscribed to monthly plan to use premium fonts (though I don’t believe those super common fonts are premium fonts). Restarted my ipad, and tried again, but the same thing happened again and again. Paying for the subscription didn’t help, and this is very frustrating for me…Does anyone encountered similar issues and knows how to resolve it? Much Thanks!

I thought Fresco used to have an opacity slider for brushes, but it seems gone in the update. But I’m not sure! Maybe I’m imagining photoshop tools since I jump back and forth between those apps all day. Is it gone? Or am I messed up?

I’m using an iPad Pro 4th Gen and the Timelapse Export is causing the app to crash 100% of the time. It doesn’t change anything when I try and switch the resolution export settings, duplicate file, try any file at all (even a new one for tests sake), I’ve tried restarting etc - been at this for hours now. For context, it was working, but doing that thing where it exports the files in a tiny box (formatting issues, but I could fix that video myself in an editor) so I update Fresco to the latest version to fix this but now it just crashes my app.  Also I have more than enough storage (over 100gb) and I have tried exporting to my google drive, files, anywhere else but the second I hit export the app just crashes. Please help, I really need those exports - workarounds are welcome if fixes are not possible! Thank you!

Adobe Fresco and the Missing SVG/EPS Export OptionHere is the simple version of what I found, and my take on it.I went looking for whether the Adobe Fresco developers ever gave a real reason why Fresco does not export to a true vector format like SVG or EPS.What I found is this:Adobe does not seem to have given a clear, direct public explanation that says, "Fresco cannot export SVG because of X."Instead, Adobe's docs and staff replies basically point users toward this workflow:- Create in Fresco- Open in Illustrator- Export SVG or other vector formats from IllustratorSo Adobe clearly treats Illustrator as the place for final vector output.One explanation that often comes up is this:"Fresco documents can mix vector, raster, masks, and effects in ways that do not map neatly to pure SVG/EPS output."That sounds reasonable at first, but honestly, I do not think it is a very strong excuse.My response is simple:If a document can export cleanly as SVG, then let it export as SVG.If it cannot, t

I don’t see the camera icon or the ruler in the latest update. I on an iPad.

Just got the new update and am extremely irritated with the sudden change to layout. I have a flow. I know where the undo buttons are, I know where the tools are without thinking. Now I have to relearn all of that. Why did they have to make such a sudden and drastic change? I’m right handed. Now I have to reach all the way across the screen to undo something. Look, if people like it, just make it so you can change it back if you want to. Adobe.[Profanity removed by moderator]

I’m trying to use grungey inker but it’s only appearing on about five pixels of a multiple inch image. Doesn’t matter what brush color or size, I can’t get a single line to appear - just a few pixels. It’s happening with multiple other brushes and changing stylus pressure has had no effect at all. I’ve restarted the app and reconnected the pencil multiple times. How do I fix this?

Hi, I’m looking to start experimenting and drawing in Procreate or Fresco. I have no money to buy subscriptions or purchase cloud space if things get full up. Can I use Fresco and save the working files on the iPad? I’m aware I can save up to the cloud for the 5gb amount, but I plan to use up the space quickly but cant afford to pay for the cloud increase. How easy is it to save somewhere else. lister

Hi! I’m really sad because I’ve been working hard on a project and partway through I turned on a watercolor live brush and then the app glitched (everything froze while the layers flickered a bit). I (thought I) saved it then quit the app, only to find that when I opened it again everything I had done for the last two hours was gone. But the layers were still there, just empty. It seems others have had a similar issue and it hasn’t been fixed in years. https://www.facebook.com/groups/adobefresco/posts/1762455271122847/ I tried quitting and reopening, looking at version history (the versions from the last two hours are blank), and deleting and reinstalling the app.  please help and fix this bug! I want my hard work back :(

Is there a way to access my files in a creative cloud project in the fresco iPad app? I enjoy using projects to organise my files, and I recently moved some files from general cloud storage to different projects. This resulted in those files no longer being available to work on in adobe fresco, since I can’t find a “Projects” tab like the one in the desktop version of Illustrator or Photoshop. I also can’t seem to move these files from the project back into the “Your files” storage, making them fully inaccessible in fresco.

I lost several layers I created for my short animation. I didn't delete them. It would be really helpful if it can be recovered as it was spanning several frames. I can see them in the Timelapse I created. I won't use the app if this is a recurring issue. iPad OS 18.5. iPad Pro 4th gen

So, recently, I’ve been working on this animation. I poured my heart and soul into it and was super proud of how it had turned out. After working on a part of it for around an hour or so, I had to stop working on it for some time because of classes and when I opened Adobe Fresco again, it stopped responding. I closed the app and reopened it and everything I’d done in that hour was gone. Not cleared layers. Just… completely gone. I’m shattered. I checked the version history and there was nothing, I restarted my laptop and there was nothing. Is there any way to get those frames back or are they gone for good?

Account went from paid to free to new paid and now my files on my iPad are all gone.  I was working on a project, it was syncing and saving. I was asked to resign in and all my projects from 2022 till now are gone and dosnt show up anywhere. I’m hoping there is a way to recover locally synced / recently synced files that do not show up in creative cloud. I have followed all the steps with Adobe support on twitter and they suggested could look on the back end for recently synced fresco files as I was literally working on it all week and thought my files were saved locally. 

I have issues with “saving new brush “ it not showing the bar.  

Malgré la désinstallation et réinstallation, le problème ne change pas. Ce qui est bizarre c’est que ça marchait très bien avant (en 2024) et du jour au lendemain l’application s’est mise à planter lorsque je créer un nouveau document ou veux en ouvrir un ancien.Toutes les autres appli adobe fonctionnent très bien. Détails sur mon installation : ordinateur de 2023- fonctionne très bien. [  Windows 11. x6416,0 Go- NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070- GPU (8 Go) - Intel(R) UHD Graphics (128 Mo)Stockage : 332 GB sur 477 GB utilisé ] Merci d’avance pour votre aide, j’aimerais tellement pouvoir dessiné. PS : ça m’arrive de l’utiliser plutôt avec ma tablette Gaomon brancher en externe dessus mais je ne penses pas que ça change quoi que ce soit.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------English version :  Subject: Adobe App Crashes on New/Open Document – Worked Fine Until RecentlyDespite uninstalling and reinstalling, the issue persist

I've encountered some serious issues with Fresco freezing.  It normally happens when I am tool switching. Most of the time it's from a vector brush and trying to tap on Transform, Eraser, or the Type Tool. This error happens literally every time I want to tool switch. Fresco is basically unusable to me right now, which sucks as I'm a professional and this is my workflow. The only way around it is to swip up on my ipad, exit the program, and come back. Only then can I tool switch, and it's MOST of the time. Sometimes I have to close the program and reopen it in order to tool switch.     Example. I'll be using a vector round brush to draw, then I'll want to transform something, so I'll try to tap on the transform tool and can't. Everything on the screen is frozen, except: my ability to keep using that selected round brush tool I can long press to eyedrop change color I can move the cancvas I can't tap on other tools, I can't select layers. I have to exit the program

Recently switched from Procreate due to a hardware change and purchased full Adobe suite. I'm finding that even though Fresco is the closest competitor to Procreate, it seems to be lacking noticeably. One of my few nuances is the inability to create a uniform, clean blur or gradient via layer effects or something similar. Any workaround for this that doesn't include constantly exporting to multiple programs?    [Renamed by Mod]
