About Adobe Podcast

Adobe Podcast is a browser-based suite of AI audio and video tools built around three products: Enhance Speech, Studio and Mic Check. Enhance Speech is the headline feature, an AI model that strips noise and echo out of spoken recordings and returns broadcast-grade voice, and since March 2026 it also performs source separation, splitting a mixed file into independent speech, background noise and music layers you can rebalance or download as stems. Studio, still labelled BETA by Adobe, handles remote multitrack recording by shared link, transcript-based editing, video recording and audiograms. Mic Check analyses your microphone setup before you hit record and is free on every plan. Adobe Podcast is no longer a free beta: there is a capped free tier and a paid Premium plan that also carries Adobe Express Premium.

Pricing

Adobe Podcast runs on two plans. The Free plan covers Enhance Speech on audio only, one file at a time, up to 30 minutes and 500 MB per file, with 1 hour of enhancement per day, plus 2 Studio project downloads per day of up to 30 minutes each. Mic Check is free on both plans. The Premium plan adds video, bulk upload, the enhancement strength slider, files up to 2 hours and 1 GB, 4 hours of enhancement per day, unlimited Studio downloads, speaker-separated original recordings and all Adobe Express Premium design features. Premium comes with a 30-day free trial. Adobe lists features rather than a price on its plans page, so check the price shown in your own upgrade flow before subscribing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Adobe Podcast really free?

Partly. There is a permanent free plan and a paid Premium plan. Free covers Enhance Speech on audio only, one file at a time, up to 30 minutes and 500 MB per file, 1 hour of enhancement per day, and 2 Studio downloads per day of up to 30 minutes each. Mic Check is free on both plans. Premium adds video, bulk upload, the strength slider, files up to 2 hours and 1 GB, 4 hours per day, unlimited Studio downloads and Adobe Express Premium, with a 30-day free trial.

How good is Enhance Speech?

Very strong, and it is the reason most people come to Adobe Podcast. Enhance Speech ships in two model versions, v1 and v2, with v2 described by Adobe as its best AI speech enhancement model; Adobe suggests running a 30-second clip through both if you are unsure which suits a given recording. Since March 2026 Premium adds source separation, so speech, background noise and music become independent layers you can rebalance or export as stems. Adobe's own guidance is to keep the default strength and dial it back if output starts to sound robotic, which only Premium users can do.

Adobe Podcast vs Descript vs Riverside?

Adobe Podcast excels at audio enhancement. Descript excels at editing workflow. Riverside excels at high-quality remote recording. Many podcasters use Riverside to record, Adobe Podcast to enhance, and Descript to edit, each tool for what it does best.

Can I use Adobe Podcast for video?

Yes, on Premium. Enhance Speech accepts video files including MP4 and MOV and returns the file with cleaned audio, and Adobe rolled out video recording in Studio in March 2026 along with multitrack video import from Zoom, Restream, StreamYard and Riverside. The free plan is audio only, so free users still need to enhance the audio track separately and remarry it in Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve.

Is Adobe Podcast's AI trained on my recordings?

Adobe Podcast is governed by the Adobe General Terms of Use linked in the footer of podcast.adobe.com, which is the authoritative source for content ownership and generative AI training. Because those terms vary by account type and are revised periodically, check the version that applies to your own account tier rather than relying on a third-party summary.
