Adobe boosts Creative Cloud program with Aviary acquisition

Adobe said it has acquired Aviary, a developer of mobile software development kits (SDKs), to fast-track creative cloud app development.

The acquisition also accelerates Adobe’s strategy to make Creative Cloud a vibrant platform for third-party apps, through a new Creative SDK.

Millions of users are already using Aviary-powered photo-editing apps and thousands of developers are using Aviary’s SDKs across mobile platforms.

We’re thrilled to leverage Aviary’s technology to make our Creative SDK even more powerful for app developers,” said Scott Belsky, vice president of Creative Cloud Ecosystem & Behance at Adobe.

“This is great news for developers because thousands of mobile apps will have the opportunity to become compatible with industry-defining desktop tools like Photoshop CC, as well as new Creative Cloud services,” Belsky added.

Commenting on the new development, Avi Muchnick, Aviary’s co-founder, said, “We’re excited to join Adobe and tap into their incredible wealth of creative technology and supercharge our collective SDK offering. Together, we will help nurture the next generation of third party creative apps.”
