From PC Mag: Adobe plans to shut down Adobe Animate, a 2D animation software used to create vector-based animations for websites, games, and cartoons.
As of March 1, the company will stop accepting new sign-ups. Existing users can continue using the software beyond that date, but technical support will end on March 1, 2027. To avoid losing work, users must download files before that technical support ends.
Enterprise customers have an extended timeframe for downloads; they’ll be able to export their files through March 1, 2029. Adobe has begun notifying users about the changes via email.
"Animate has been a product that has existed for over 25 years and has served its purpose well for creating, nurturing, and developing the animation ecosystem," Adobe says on a support page. "As technologies evolve, new platforms and paradigms emerge that better serve the needs of the users."
