Photoshop for Web is in beta and is available to those who have a paid Creative Cloud subscription that includes Photoshop. Details here:

No, there isn't official portable version of Photoshop. There wasn't portable version at any time in the past.

[Noobie]

Thank you for your reply.

There is Photoshop lite version called Photoshop Elements, it's available for a one-off payment  from Amazon and elsewhere for around $70.

[Noobie]

But its portable? My problem, when i travel i just use a small laptop that is completely impossible to install photoshop, so my idea is to have a portable  version in a pen and that way i can use photoshop in my small laptop. 

[Derek Cross]

If your small laptop has the correct system specs you can install Photoshop Elements 2022. I don't know what you mean by "in a pen"!

If you're not sure you can download the free 30-day trial to see if it will work on your small laptop and that the application suits your requirements.

Sorry, i´m Portuguese and also speak spanish so sometimes i mix the terms and i write portenglish :). To place photoshop on a USB that was what i meant by " in a pen"

[Derek Cross · Accepted solution]

No, you can't install it on to a usb stick, you need to download the application from the internet on to your laptop. If you have the system specs, give it a try!

Can you define what you mean by "portable" so we are all on the same page?

When I first answered, I thought you meant the dictionary definition, and the web version (beta) can be used on any device.

After reading answers from others, I've found that "Portable Photoshop" is also used to refer to illegal pirated versions. If you are asking about pirated versions, we can't assist.

Yes, something i can transport from one place to another without having to install it on your computer.

Photoshop for the Web (beta) does not get installed on your computer. It does have minimum and recommended system requirements:

Is this what you are looking for?

Thank you

No, there's never been  a portable version of Photoshop (like portable 7Zip or Audacity or Firefox, etc).

[Noobie]

Yes 😞 Thank you

[MarekMularczyk]

You're welcome. Sorry couldn't be more helpful...

You need to know that there never was a "Photoshop Portable" from Adobe. Software pirates may claim this exists, and they might have something along with the malware. But "Photoshop Portable" is not a legal product. 

[Noobie]

Thank you. Yes thats the problem :(.

Also, Photoshop needs a powerful computer, with a lot of free disk space and good GPU etc. A portable version would not make a tiny laptop work...

[Noobie]

Oh ok 😞 didnt know that. Thanks 

[Derek Cross]

That's for the full version of Photoshop, Photoshop Elements doesn't need such a powerful computer.

[Noobie]

Ok i will check if i can do that way. Thanks
