Just as Photoshop has become a standard when it comes to professional photo editing, Adobe InDesign is a standard when it comes to creating all types of publications, in both digital and print formats. The program has all the necessary tools for layout work, allowing the user to work with layers, and add text and images. Today I’ll show you how to get Adobe InDesign for free.
How to download Adobe InDesign free trial
Adobe offers a trial version of all its products belonging to the Creative Cloud. This trial version includes all the functions that you can get in a full version, with the time of use as the only limitation. Whether you download all the applications of the Creative Cloud, which includes InDesign, or the individual software, you have 7 days to use it for free. After 7 days, you will lose access to the program and will have to pay the monthly subscription to continue using it.
This trial is a way for people to try Adobe products for free, making sure they really want to pay for the subscription or not, but it is also one of the ways to get Adobe InDesign for free, at least for a short period of time.
In order to download and use Adobe InDesign for free, you must first go to https://www.adobe.com/products/indesign.html. There you will see, at the top of the page, the “Free Trial” button. Clicking on it will open a window with two options:
- InDesign: Here you can download only Adobe InDesign. It is the recommended option for those users who want to use only this application and are not interested in the other programs offered by Adobe. At the bottom of the new window that opened, you will see the “Start free trial” button, click here to continue.
- Creative Cloud All Apps: In this option, you will be able to download the complete suite of programs that Adobe has at its disposal, which includes Adobe InDesign and more than 20 other applications, among which you can find Photoshop, Illustrator, Lightroom, and others. In the same way that the first option, to proceed, press the “Start free trial” button.
Here is the picture to make it all clear. Click here to get to the page.
How to install InDesign
Once you press the “Start Free Trial” button in any of the two options that appear on the screen, you will be sent to a new page. There you will need to log in with your Adobe ID in order to enable the continue option. If you don’t have an Adobe ID, it allows you to create your Adobe account right there. After logging in and filling in your details, you will be able to press the “Start free trial” button located at the bottom of the new window.
At that point, the process of downloading your trial version of Adobe InDesign will begin, which will last you 7 days from the time you install the application. I recommend that you save enough free time before starting this process since the 7 days will begin to count, regardless of whether you use the program or not, so get the most out of it while you can.
And that’s it. This is how you can get Adobe InDesign for free, so you can unleash your imagination, at least for a few days. Take advantage of this time to do everything you need, then decide if it is convenient for you to subscribe to Adobe Apps to exploit this wonderful program without time limitations.
