Need standalone installers for InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop CC 2022, 2020, and 2019

[Nutriamix]

I need the standalone installers for these three applications, but Adobe claims not to have download links anymore (which is a lie), and you can’t get them using CC Desktop App. I want these versions because I know they work; and I don’t want all the bloat that Adobe adds with each new version, or the AI crap they’ve added for 2025.

Does anybody have them so that I can download them? I know there are some sites that have a bunch of past versions for both Windows and Mac, but from what I’ve read about people who tried to use those, they all fail because the installer is somehow corrupted.

I’d appreciate any help.

Hi Nutriamix,

Appreciate that you want a leaner version of the apps, but Adobe no longer provides public access to standalone installers for CC 2019, 2020, or 2022. That’s not a lie it’s a licensing policy change. Adobe only guarantees access to the latest two major versions for legal and support reasons, often due to third-party licensing constraints.

Even if someone had the old installers, sharing them would violate Adobe’s terms and community guidelines which means no one here can help you with that.

One person’s bloat is another’s essential productivity tool — funny how that works - “AI crap” or “bloat,” is subjective. If there’s a real compatibility issue or performance limitation with newer versions, you’d be better off stating that clearly.

You’re welcome to raise your concerns with Adobe directly, but publicly asking others to share old software binaries just isn’t going to fly on this forum.
