Apple has officially introduced Apple Creator Studio, a new subscription designed to bring advanced creative tools, intelligent features, and premium content under one umbrella. The subscription enhances several popular Apple and third-party apps while keeping their free or one-time purchase versions intact.
With an Apple Creator Studio subscription, users unlock “intelligent features” and exclusive premium content across apps such as Pixelmator Pro, Numbers, Pages, Keynote, and eventually Freeform. These additions are aimed at creators, designers, editors, students, and professionals looking for deeper functionality without buying every app separately.
In Pixelmator Pro on both Mac and iPad, subscribers gain access to a new Warp tool, allowing users to twist, reshape, and manipulate image layers with greater precision. This feature is especially useful for graphic designers, photographers, and digital artists who want more creative control.
Meanwhile, Apple’s productivity apps — Numbers, Pages, and Keynote — receive a new Content Hub exclusive to Apple Creator Studio subscribers. The hub includes royalty-free photos, premium templates, themes, and design assets, making it easier to create polished documents, spreadsheets, and presentations without relying on third-party resources.
Apple Creator Studio includes access to six professional creative apps:
-
Final Cut Pro (Mac and iPad)
-
Logic Pro (Mac and iPad)
-
Pixelmator Pro (Mac and iPad)
-
Motion (Mac)
-
Compressor (Mac)
-
MainStage (Mac)
Notably, Pixelmator Pro, which was previously available only on the Mac, is now expanding to the iPad as part of this offering — a major addition for mobile creatives.
Apple is also offering generous trial options. All new subscribers can take advantage of a one-month free trial. In addition, customers who purchase a new Mac or a qualifying iPad equipped with an A16, A17 Pro, or M-series chip (or later) are eligible for an extended three-month free trial.
Pricing is especially attractive for students. College students can subscribe to Apple Creator Studio for $2.99 per month or $29.99 per year. The subscription also supports Family Sharing, allowing users to share their plan with up to five additional family members at no extra cost, provided they have linked Apple Accounts.
Apple has confirmed that all included apps — Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro, Pixelmator Pro, Motion, Compressor, and MainStage — will continue to be available as one-time purchases. Likewise, free versions of Numbers, Pages, Keynote, and Freeform will remain accessible to everyone.
However, Apple has made it clear that certain intelligent features and premium content will be exclusive to Apple Creator Studio subscribers, positioning the service as a value-packed option for users who want advanced tools without committing to multiple individual purchases.
Overall, Apple Creator Studio represents Apple’s strongest push yet toward a unified creative subscription, blending professional apps, enhanced productivity tools, and exclusive content into a single, flexible plan.
