ADBE

Adobe Inc.

A maker of creative software whose Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat, and Creative Cloud tools are used by designers, photographers, and everyday folks. Its AI models, Firefly, help generate images and content inside these apps, and its Experience Cloud helps marketers manage customer campaigns. Founded in 1982 by two Xerox researchers, John Warnock and Charles Geschke, after their employer declined their idea; the name came from Adobe Creek, a stream behind Warnock's home in California.
