Fresco

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 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 

Just roll it back. 

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 

Toolbar on the left disappears into the top of the screen and I can’t move it down or disconnect it anymore, so I can’t change the size of the brush or eraser. Which means now I’m stuck and can’t continue any of my projects. I’ve logged out, turned my computer on/off, etc. and nothing has changed. wtf?? I can change the brush and the color, but not the size of the brush or eraser. It’s all stuck on one size.

Hey Guys!!I’m using a Microsoft Surface Pro 11 (ARM – Snapdragon X Plus) and I’m unable to import any official Adobe Fresco brush sets through the “+ Add Brushes” → “Discover New Brushes” feature.When I select a brush set, Fresco shows “Adding…”, but the brushes never appear in my Creative Cloud Library. The process never completes.I have already tried the usual troubleshooting steps, including: deleting the “LIBS” folder under AppData restarting Creative Cloud reinstalling Fresco signing out/in of Creative Cloud resetting sync None of these steps fixed the issue.Interestingly, importing third‑party brushes (.abr) works perfectly. Only the Creative‑Cloud‑based official brush sets fail to import. It seems like Fresco cannot write anything into my Creative Cloud Libraries on this ARM‑based Windows device.Is this a known issue with Adobe Fresco or Creative Cloud on ARM Windows? Is there any workaround or fix available? If not, can you recommend reliable sources for high‑quality th

Just the pc version is a hot mess, cant get my brushes and shapes on the pc, we need import function for brushes and shapes, and a fix to missing menu items like duplicate and copy all have disappeared. Was there yesterday now gone. please give a update on fixes for all these, its like you dont care about the pc version, just mac. 

All my documents load in the Cloud and in the app, but the second I try opening anything it just tells me Fresco can't open the document and that I need to contact support. I had to call off a commission because of this. What’s going on?EDIT: If I try to create a new document, I get this message: (ErrorCode -2005270523 “HRESULT error: The GPU device instance has been suspended. Use GetDeviceRemovedReason to determine the appropriate action.”)Not sure what it means. I have made no changes to my device or app that would have warranted this.

Adobe Fresco cannot export PNG files properly.The files I exported to png all turn out to be a renamed file with many numbers, and the file type is also in numbers eg. File-2026-05-18To7:51:08.075Z I have to manually change the names all over again, and type the file as .png to see it.I am not sure if these files are capable of sending to print by manually changing the file type in this way.I am using Fresco with my newly bought ipad air, the newest IOS, and also the most updates fresco version. Please does anyone knows if this can be resolved, or can I reach an adobe support hotline with human to help out? Thank you.

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!

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 love the vector Fresco brush but the interface and workflow could be much improved.I only need a handful of tools, a few brushes and a compact color palette when im making an illustration. All the rest is taking up valuable screen real estate.People have different workflows. Please let us dock the tools that we use all the time in the sidebar so they are only one tap away. regardsJan

I’m still fairly new to Fresco, and what’s new in this version compared to the last.but I really like the new fill tool now when I’m drawing in vector I can see the bucket on the tool bar and it fills as expected. It’s really satisfying. in the past I’d have to figure out which icon was fill and then remember the correct sub tool that did what I sxpected thanks team. I know you’re always putting in a lot of hard work I can tell from all the video tutorials I watch and the progressive improvements and it’s a drop in the ocean but I hope you see that your work is appreciated despite how particular we all are here about getting just what we each like.

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?

after the recent update (april 2026) where the toolbar is now on the top instead of the side. I noticed that the color paletts were also changed, and more shockingly...all my custom palettes are gone. It will still load the imported image colors, but I used to have “sets” made for different clients. I didn’t realize you could save those to the cloud (I think, still not clear about that), so these only lived in Fresco….. Anyone else experience this? It’s really hard to make multiple images for clients without their specific palettes loaded up. Moving forward, how to I make them “permanent”?This is rediculous……..I also preferred the tools on the left, as i am right-handed. and the undo/redo is a little farther out of reach for me now. Not liking it so far. 

I created a Adobe Fresco File and I have been working on it for a wile and now it can’t be opened anymore with out any reason!! The message says that the file is not a real PSD file.Please help me, I need to finish this project until next week.Thank you

Where’s the the ruler now? And the toolbar was obviously much more accesible in the previous version, now you have to move the arm over the screen everytime you need to change tools.

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!

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

I recently brought up the refresh rate of my monitor, and somehow this has cxoincided with the group later function no longer actually working.

This new update is a downgrade in every physically possible way, it makes fresco much more difficult to use, and it is impossible for me to use it at all, pleas I am willing to pay literal money for a copy of the previous version, I am begging you adobe, the community doesn’t like this update at all and you are actively destroying it, just give us the previous version back, it’s really not that hard in the slightest, you’d be doing so much good for everyone
